These fish are believed to be descendants of fish that escaped during hurricane Andrew. All fish are thought to be from a group of 8 to 12 original breeders. An annual tournament attempts to cull the fish to manageable numbers. Humans are their only predator here in US waters. Some people say the fish is delicious.
