dc.description.abstractGroupers (Epinephelidae) are ecologically, commercially, and culturally important carnivorous fishes found throughout the world’s tropical, subtropical, and temperate coastal marine waters. Due to various life history traits (e.g., late maturity, sequential hermaphroditism) and behavior (e.g., sedentary, small home ranges) groupers are susceptible to overfishing, including small-scale and recreational fishing (especially spearfishing), and their populations are declining worldwide. The eastern Mediterranean coast, home to some of the world’s longest continuously occupied urban settlements, hosts important but declining grouper populations. This paper investigates how grouper and comber (fishes in the Serranidae family with similar ecology and osteomorphology, but smaller in size) abundance and catch size changed in the eastern Mediterranean from the Middle to Late Holocene, coinciding with early coastal urbanization, by estimating their relative frequency and reconstructing their size. Size reconstructions have been done from a large sample of bones (Number of Identified Specimens = 1851) recovered from Kinet Höyük in Turkey, and Tell Fadous-Kfarabida and Tell el-Burak in Lebanon, habitation sites along the Levantine coast. Our results imply that groupers in the past reached >100 cm more often than is observed today in areas open to commercial fishing. Furthermore, the apparent lack of large groupers by the Hellenistic Period at Kinet Höyük suggests fishing efforts were intense enough to have either had an appreciable effect on the size structure of local grouper populations or brought about a behavioral change to the fishes of moving to deeper waters.
