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 assigns this fish to the snapper subfamily Lutjaninae within Lutjanidae, in the teleost series Eupercaria. It is held as marine, entering brackish water and reef-associated, in a tropical climate, over a depth range of 3 - 80 m and usually 20 - 50 m. The source gives a maximum length of 50.0 cm TL and a common length of 30.0 cm TL. Its maturity range opens at 29 cm with no upper bound, a maturity length and not a maximum, and no published weight and no maximum reported age are given.

Morphology	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase gives 10 dorsal spines with 14 dorsal soft rays, 3 anal spines and 8 anal soft rays. The source distinguishes a body moderately deep to somewhat slender at a greatest depth of 2.6-2.8 in SL, a triangular or diamond-shaped vomerine tooth patch with a medial posterior extension, a patch of granular teeth on the tongue, gill rakers on the first gill arch totalling 13-18 including rudiments, and a poorly developed preopercular notch and knob. Colour is described as generally pink to whitish with a silvery sheen, with a black spot lying mainly above the lateral line below the anterior rays of the soft dorsal fin. FishBase adds that adults from the Indian Ocean usually carry 7-8 narrow golden brown stripes on the sides, that juveniles are whitish with black lateral stripes, and that most Indo-Pacific fish bear a pale-edged round black spot on the upper back.

Habitat and distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	The source holds this snapper as marine, brackish and reef-associated in a tropical climate, over a depth range of 3 - 80 m and usually 20 - 50 m. FishBase places adults on offshore coral reefs and on inshore rocky and coral reefs at moderate depths, usually over 20 m, and reports the fish as more common at about 50 m. Juveniles are recorded from mangrove estuaries and the lower reaches of freshwater streams.

Feeding	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase records that this species feeds on benthic invertebrates and fish. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Biology · verified	Only the second has a record
Distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	Global range: FishBase gives a Western Pacific distribution, and states that the Indian Ocean distribution is provisionally included as records of L. indicus, with the species needing reassessment, preferably by genetic analysis. The section names no water of the Arabian Peninsula, so no Saudi occurrence is asserted here. Global Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Distribution · 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.
