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 snapper in the family Lutjanidae, subfamily Lutjaninae, within the series Eupercaria of the teleosts. The source describes a marine, reef-associated fish of a tropical climate, held over a depth range of 0 - 96 m. It gives a maximum length of 35.0 cm TL, a maximum published weight of 390.00 g and a maximum reported age of 11 years. The maturity line gives a length at first maturity of 12.2 cm over a range of 11 - 24.6 cm, which is a maturity length and not a species maximum.

Morphology	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase gives 10 - 12 dorsal spines with 12 dorsal soft rays, 3 anal spines and 8 anal soft rays. The source describes a gently sloped dorsal profile of the head, a very narrow preorbital bone much less than the eye diameter, a poorly developed preopercular notch and knob, and scale rows on the back rising obliquely above the lateral line. Colour is given as generally silvery white with a broad yellow stripe along the side from the eye to the caudal fin base, faint narrow yellow horizontal lines over the lower half of the body, and pale yellow to whitish fins. Body depth is recorded as 2.9-3.3 in SL, the body shape fusiform and the cross section oval. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Short description · verified	Only the second has a record
Habitat and distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	The source holds this species as marine and reef-associated in a tropical climate, over a depth range of 0 - 96 m. FishBase places adults on offshore coral reefs and trawling grounds, and records the fish as trawled to a depth of almost 100 m. It is frequently encountered in large schools together with other Lutjanus species.

Distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	Global range: FishBase records an Indo-West Pacific distribution, from East Africa to the Solomon Islands, north to southern Japan and south to Australia. The source adds a recent record from Tonga, and notes that previous authors usually referred to this fish as Lutjanus lineolatus.

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.
