Coral Trout (Plectropomus) are vibrant, carnivorous fish commonly found in the warm, tropical waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. These predatory fish are recognised for their striking colours, ranging from bright orange to red. They thrive around coral reefs and are known to feed on smaller fish and invertebrates. Coral Trout are highly prized in both commercial and sport fishing, contributing to their popularity and conservation concerns.
