COMPARE

Compare two species

Two published records side by side, field by field. Each row says in words whether the two sides are the same, differ, or only one holds a record, and each empty cell says why it is empty. Only published records appear, and every value carries its reference.

General description	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase places this species in the snapper family Lutjanidae, subfamily Etelinae, among the teleosts of the series Eupercaria. The source describes a marine, reef-associated fish of tropical waters, with a maximum published length of 112 cm TL and a common length of 90.0 cm TL. It records a length at first maturity of 45.0, within a stated range of 42 - 50 cm, and a maximum reported age of 32 years.

Morphology	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase gives 10 dorsal spines with 11 dorsal soft rays, and 3 anal spines with 8 anal soft rays, the dorsal count written D X,11 soft rays in the diagnostic character list. The source describes an elongate and robust body with a very distinct horizontal groove on the snout ventral to the nostrils, teeth in bands in both jaws with strong canines anteriorly, teeth on the roof of the mouth in a chevron- or crescent-shaped patch on the vomer and in an elongate band on each palatine, a maxilla without scales or longitudinal ridges, a flattened interorbital region, a well-produced last soft ray in both dorsal and anal fins, a forked caudal fin and short pectoral fins less than half the length of the head. It records gill rakers on the first gill arch as 7 - 8 + 13 - 16 = 20 - 24, tubed lateral-line scales as 48 - 50, and the body colour as dark green, bluish or grey-blue.

Habitat and distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	The source records a marine, reef-associated fish of tropical waters, with a depth range of 0 - 180 m. Adults are described as inhabiting the open waters of deep lagoons, channels or seaward reefs, and the species as found in benthopelagic waters. FishBase adds that it is usually seen singly, but also in groups.

Distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	Global distribution: FishBase records the species as Indo-Pacific, from East Africa to the Hawaiian Islands, north to southern Japan and south to Australia. The source gives no locality finer than that. Global Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Distribution · verified	Only the second has a record
Feeding	The register holds no row for this field.	The source describes the species as feeding mainly on fishes, but also on shrimps, crabs, cephalopods and planktonic organisms. It gives no further dietary detail. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Biology · verified	Only the second has a record

An empty cell describes the register, not the animal: it does not mean the value is zero, or that science does not know it. A row carrying a state phrase ("unknown", "not recorded in the source") holds an explicit record saying so. A local name recorded for a sea is not an occurrence record, and a value two records share does not make them one record.

What the words in the comparison column mean

Same: Both sides hold the same value.
Differs: Both sides hold a value, and the two values are not the same.
Only the first / only the second has a record: The other side holds no row in the register for this field, and its cell says why.
Neither has a record: Neither side holds a row for this field.
Each has its own: A field whose two values are not compared: two identifiers, two plates; each record has its own.
