Papua New Guinea Giant Grouper Scientific name: Epinephelus lanceolatus Phylum Vertebrata Distribution: The Giant grouper is found throughout the Indo-Pacific region. Description: The Giant Grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus) can also be known as the Brindle Bass. Giant Grouper, along with the Marlin species and Swordfish, is one of the world's largest bony fish and the aquatic emblem of Queensland. The species can grow as large as 3 m long, weighing up to 600 kg, and there have been unconfirmed reports of attacks on humans. This giant fish is similar to an Estuary Cod and colour changes with age. The giant grouper has a large mouth and a rounded tail. It can expand its mouth to create a strong suction, which allows it to engulf its unsuspecting food. Juveniles have irregular black and yellow markings, while adults are green-grey to grey-brown with faint mottling. There are numerous small black spots on the fins.

Diving in Kavieng, Deep Pete & Der Yangwrecks and coral reefs: The wreck of the Der Yang Taiwanese fishing boat sits in 30m of water near the Echuca Patch reef on the Pacific Ocean side of Kavieng. The Deep Pete plane is a Mitsubishi F1M float-plane, which was used by the Japanese Imperial Navy during WWII and sits in 40m of water on a sandy bottom.

The wreck of the Pete float-plane is located on the western side of Nusa Lik (small Nusa) Island. Which, along with Big Nusa Island, provides the shelter for Kavieng’s harbor. The wreck lies on its back, with the remains of its main float sticking up. It is on flat white sand in 40m of water – hence the name “Deep Pete”.The F1M was designed and built to be launched by catapult from battleships, cruisers and aircraft tenders. To be used mainly for reconnaissance missions. However it also saw service as an impromptu fighter, dive bomber and patrol aircraft.
