Lookin' for Grouper

This episode begins with talk about Jonah being swallowed by a fish. Whatever. What follows is a show where the crew dives repeatedly looking for various groupers. Additionally, they perform some experiments and try to discover if it's possible to breed the fish in captivity. They also note that the fish change colors rapidly-- especially when excited. The trip takes them to Mexico as well as Belize. The reason they chose the Mexico location was because the fish were breeding and gathered together in huge numbers. There, local fishermen exploit this resource heavily. Overall, a decent but not particularly memorable episode of the series. Mildly interesting and that's about all.
