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 assigns this snapper to the family Lutjanidae and the subfamily Lutjaninae, in the series Eupercaria. It is entered as marine and reef-associated, entering brackish water as well, in a tropical climate. FishBase records a maximum length of 50.0 cm TL, a common length of 30.0 cm TL and a maximum reported age of 23 years, and gives no published weight. The length at first maturity is given as 19.1 cm with a range beginning at 12 cm and no upper figure, and that is a maturity length and not a maximum.

Morphology	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase gives 10 dorsal spines with 12 - 14 dorsal soft rays, and 3 anal spines with 8 anal soft rays. The source describes a moderately deep body, its greatest depth 2.6-2.9 in SL, a poorly developed preopercular notch and knob, a triangular or diamond-shaped vomerine tooth patch with a medial posterior extension, gill rakers on the first gill arch of 6-7 + 9-12 including rudiments and so 16-19 in all, a caudal fin truncate to slightly emarginate, and scale rows on the back rising obliquely above the lateral line. The back and upper sides are brown, the lower sides whitish or light brown and the belly whitish to yellow, usually with a series of 6-7 yellow stripes on the sides and a prominent black spot at the level of the lateral line, below the base of the anterior part of the soft portion of the dorsal fin.

Habitat and distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase gives a depth range of 3 - 35 m for this reef-associated species of marine and brackish water in a tropical climate. The source records adults on coral reefs, usually in schools on coastal reefs and in deep lagoons, and often in large aggregations with Lutjanus kasmira and Lutjanus lutjanus. Juveniles are sometimes found in mangrove estuaries or in the lower reaches of freshwater streams.

Feeding	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase records that this snapper feeds mainly on fishes, shrimps, crabs and other crustaceans. Fish and crustaceans are the only prey the source names for it. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Biology · verified	Only the second has a record
Distribution	The register holds no row for this field.

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.
