It also enters estuaries, such as the lowermost part of the Brisbane River. It reaches up to in length and in weight;〔 unconfirmed reports of it growing much bigger exist, up to and . Giant groupers feed on a variety of marine life, including small sharks and juvenile sea turtles. Due to overfishing, this species has declined drastically in many regions, and as of the mid-1990s, it is considered Vulnerable by the IUCN.〔
