Population [top]
Population: General
Hyporthodus otofasciatus is a rare species throughout its range.
Fisheries-dependent data
Quantitative fishery data are lacking as catches of this species are probably lumped with other groupers) (Sean Fennessy pers. comm.). Qualitative information suggests that this species could be found along the whole northwest coast of Australia and one specimen weighing 66 kg was caught in Scott Reef from 200 m depth (John Choat pers. comm.). Quantitative data suggest that medium amounts of this species are landed annually in Western Australia, and the quantity is increasing, from 5,800 kg in 2001 to 72,100 kg in 2005 (Mark Cliff pers. comm.). Direct estimation of CPUE using available information on the number of vessel involved in such fisheries reveals a four times increase in CPUE during the period, from 322 kg/vessel (2001) to 1,441 kg/vessel (2005) (vessel irrespective of type). The landings of this species in Guam from 1998 to 2002 fluctuated bi-annually, but dramatically increased form 3 kg in 1992 to 1,530 kg in 1994 (annual mean: 392 kg) (data provided from Sea Around Us Project). Its true abundance may be overlooked due to its preference to live in relatively deeper water (150 to 300 m) (Froese and Pauly 2006), leading to decreased encounter rate from underwater survey and most shallow-waters fisheries.
Current Population Trend: Unknown

? Population severely fragmented: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Hyporthodus otofasciatus favors deep (150 to 300 m) rocky reefs (Heemstra and Randall 1993). It is reported to have a maximum life span to 56 years (FAO 2003).
Systems: Marine
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Hyporthodus otofasciatus is primarily threatened from the commercial (also likely by recreational) fisheries. The magnitude of the fishing pressure is not clear within the range of distribution but its scale of fishery is likely to be relatively small (Heemstra and Randall 1993). Quantitative information is lacking for evaluating its importance and involvement into fisheries within its range of distribution.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: Available information suggests that Hyporthodus otofasciatus has not been recorded within marine reserve in South Africa and Mozambique (reported from dive surveys from 1987 to 1992) (Chater et al. 1993; Chater et al. 1995). Information from other regions is lacking. There is no known specific fishery regulation or management on this species.
