THE grouper is the 12th most popular fish eaten here, but conservation group World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) wants Singaporeans to eat less of it.

The organisation has launched a two-year project to get restaurants and hotels to serve up less of the grouper and another fish, the Napolean wrasse, also known as the humphead wrasse.

It will come up with a seafood guide which groups seafood eaten here according to whether their numbers are threatened or not.
