The Red Snapper
The Red Snapper belongs to the Lutjanidae. The red snapper reaches an average length of 60 cm, a maximum length of 100 cm and can weigh up to 9 kg. The maximum age is estimated at 40-50 years. The spawning season depends on the location. It can be fished from October to December. This snapper has long pectoral fins and a truncated caudal fin. The first and second dorsal fins are continuous with a slight notch between the two and the anal fin narrows backwards. They have a large head with small red eyes and a somewhat pointed snout. The body and fins are pinkish red in color, turning white below. At a size of less than 35 cm, the northern red snapper has a dark spot on the upper sides below the anterior soft dorsal rays - similar to a number of other snappers. And although they are more similar to the black horned snapper (L. buccanella), the red snapper lacks the black spot characteristic of the snapper's pectoral fins. The juvenile red snapper may also have bluish stripes on the sides.

They have yellow lines around the head, a long filament on the pectoral fin and blubbery lips make the snapper distinctly identifiable.
