sepi bener hari ini, Nih artikel buat nambah pengetahuan, kalo mancing sama Capt. Bobby lagi: Scientific Classification and Description Red Snapper LUTJANUS CAMPECHANUS Other names - American red snapper, northern red snapper, mutton snapper; Portuguese: vermelho; Spanish: guachinango del Golfo, pargo colorado, pargo de Golfo. The red snapper is one of the most valuable snapper for anglers and commercial fishermen; as a result, it has been severely overfished in American waters and is now closely protected. A member of the Lutjanidae family of snapper, it is one of the most highly coveted of all reef fish and is almost always the most expensive fish per pound on the market. The white meat of the red snapper is superb and is marketed fresh. Identification The red snapper is pinkish, scarlet, or brick red on its head and upper body, and silvery whitish below. It has a long triangular snout, a sharply pointed anal fin, and a distinctively red iris. Young fish of under 10 inches in length have a dusky spot below the soft dorsal fin at and above the midline, and the tail sometimes has a dark edge. Although the adult resembles the Caribbean red snapper, there are differences in ray and scale counts; the Caribbean snapper has eight soft rays in the anal fin, 50 to 51 scales in a row along the flank, and 10 to 11 scales between the beginning of the dorsal fin and the lateral line. The red snapper has nine soft rays, 47 to 49 flank scales, and 8 to 9 scales between the dorsal fin and the lateral line. Size/Age Commonly growing to between 1 and 2 feet in length, the red snapper can reach 3 feet and weigh more than 35 pounds. The all-tackle world record is a 50-pound, 4-ounce Louisiana fish. Adults can live for more than 20 years. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Millis ini terselengara berkat dukungan PT.
