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 classifies this fish in the subfamily Lutjaninae of the snapper family Lutjanidae, a Eupercaria lineage among the teleosts. It is held as marine, entering brackish water and reef-associated, in a tropical climate, over a depth range of 1 - 60 m. FishBase gives a maximum length of 60.0 cm TL and a common length of 50.0 cm TL. The maturity line is left empty, and no published weight and no maximum reported age are recorded for the species.

Morphology	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase gives 10 dorsal spines with 13 - 14 dorsal soft rays, 3 anal spines and 8 - 9 anal soft rays. The source distinguishes the species by a body moderately deep to somewhat slender at a greatest depth of 2.6-3.0 in SL, a crescentic vomerine tooth patch without a medial posterior extension, a smooth toothless tongue, gill rakers on the first gill arch totalling 18-19 including rudiments, and a truncate to slightly emarginate caudal fin. Colour is described as generally whitish to pinkish with dusky scale margins, grey or brown over the upper back and the dorsal part of the head, and yellowish fins. A black spot, sometimes faint or absent, lies on the back below the anterior soft dorsal-fin rays, round in juveniles and becoming horizontally elongate with growth.

Habitat and distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase holds this snapper as marine, brackish and reef-associated in a tropical climate, over a depth range of 1 - 60 m. The source places adults in coral reef areas, usually close to shelter in the form of caves, large coral formations and wreckage. They are reported as usually solitary, occasionally occurring in small groups.

Feeding	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase records that this species feeds mainly on fishes and benthic crustaceans, primarily crabs, and that it feeds at night. 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.
