The fish in your pictures may have red pigments but they are not red
grouper (Epinephelus morio) as recognized in the USA and by fishery
experts about the world.
The loss of color is not unusual and can be retained with better
temperature control, but color fading is inevitable with highly
pigmented fishes, especially verities from warmer and shallow waters.
