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.
  • The source places Etelis carbunculus in the family Lutjanidae, subfamily Etelinae, within the series Eupercaria, and describes a tropical marine benthopelagic fish. It gives a maximum recorded length of 127 cm FL, a common length of 65.0 cm TL and a maximum reported age of 35 years. The maturity length is given as 61.0 cm, which is a length at maturity and not a maximum, and the source attaches no measurement type to that figure.

Morphology The register holds no row for this field.
  • FishBase gives 10 dorsal spines and 11 dorsal soft rays, with 3 anal spines and 8 anal soft rays. The body is described as relatively elongate and laterally compressed, with closely set nostrils on each side of the snout, a slightly protruding lower jaw, protrusible premaxillae and a maxilla extending to below the middle of the eye; both jaws carry conical teeth with 1 to several enlarged canines on each side, and the vomer bears a chevron-shaped tooth patch. The source counts the gill rakers of the first gill arch as 5-8 plus 11-14, totalling 17-22 including rudiments, pectoral fins with 15-17 rays, and 48-50 tubed lateral-line scales. It describes a continuous dorsal fin deeply incised where the spinous portion meets the soft portion, a forked caudal fin whose lobes are relatively short at about 25-30% SL compared with its congeners, and a colour mainly pink to red, becoming white on the lower sides and belly.

Habitat and distribution The register holds no row for this field.
  • The source records a marine, benthopelagic habit in a tropical climate band, with a depth range of 90 to 400 m and a usual range of 200 to 350 m. It reports that adults inhabit rocky bottoms. The biology section repeats the benthopelagic classification and offers no further habitat detail.

Feeding The register holds no row for this field.
  • FishBase records a diet of fishes and larger invertebrates such as squids, shrimps and crabs, and adds that the species also takes planktonic organisms, including pelagic urochordates. The source calls it an important food fish in some areas, marketed fresh or frozen. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Biology · verified
Only the second has a record
Distribution The register holds no row for this field.
  • Global range: the source reports an Indo-Pacific range from East Africa to the Hawaiian Islands, north to southern Japan and south to Australia, with a record from Three Kings Island, New Zealand. It notes that this name has been wrongly used for Etelis coruscans by some previous authors. Global Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Distribution · verified

Sources Differs

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.
