{{short description|Name for various fish}}

The name 'Hamour' is used to describe a number of fish, including the Brown spotted reef cod. Yet it is also the name given to a variety of closely related fish species in the Persian Gulf.

Hamour and Soman in the GCC States

The Gulf Cooperation Council keeps fishery records on the fish caught in their territorial waters. Of the estimated 540 species of fish in the Persian Gulf, 11 different species are commonly referred to as Hamour. In records kept by the state of Qatar, there is a clear indication that the amount of "Hamour" being caught is rapidly declining, and has dropped sharply since 2008. The decline of the culturally important and prized hamour fish prompted Qatar to start a program to farm the fish species, focusing on the most highly valued Epinephelus coioides. Yet the same states keep record on a "Hamour Group", roughly relating to the catch-all phrase "Grouper". This includes the Brown Spotted Reef Cod, Epinephelus Chlorostigma, known in the Persian Gulf states as "Souman", but somewhat confusingly listed on English Wikipedia as Hamour.

Hamour and Soman in Iran

The words 'Hamour' and 'Soman' are also used in Iran to describe similar species of fish, for example the Hamour-e Khaldar-e Qahvei which is the Persian name for the Brown-spotted Reef Cod, but which is known in Arabic simply as Hamour.
