The Commodity System Analysis of Grouper/ Lapu-lapu has been presented by 2 + 2= Lapu lapu group  from the University of the Philippines Los Baños who took ABME 103 (Agribusiness Systems and Modalities).  

In the Philippines, grouper culture techniques had already been practiced since 1981.  About 6 species are found in the country,  namely: E. merra, E. summana, E. fuscoguttatus, E. macrospilos, C. pachycentron, and A. leucogrammicus (Kohno et al, 1988). Traditional grouper culture is still existing in Panay, Pangasinan, and Manila during times of experimentation. Consequently, because of the fast-paced market, few regions applied the cage culture trials with the help of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and Philippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research and Development (PCARRD).
