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 lists this snapper under Lutjaninae in the family Lutjanidae, among the Eupercaria teleosts. It is held as marine and reef-associated in a tropical climate, over a depth range of 9 - 150 m. FishBase gives a maximum length of 100.0 cm TL, a common length of 70.0 cm TL, a maximum published weight of 23.0 kg and a maximum reported age of 13 years. A length at first maturity of 51.1 cm is given over a range of 50 - 60 cm, which is a maturity length and not a maximum.

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 describes an angular dorsal profile of the head with a steeply sloped snout, a broad preorbital bone with horizontal grooves behind and below the eye, widely spaced anterior and posterior nostrils, a poorly developed preopercular notch and knob, and scale rows on the back rising obliquely above the lateral line. Juveniles are described with a broad brown bar running from the upper jaw to the beginning of the dorsal fin, and a series of reddish horizontal lines on the sides. Body shape is recorded as fusiform with an oval cross section. 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 snapper as marine and reef-associated in a tropical climate, over a depth range of 9 - 150 m. FishBase places adults on coral and rocky reefs to depths of at least 100 m, and reports that off South Africa they prefer slightly silty, turbid regions near offshore banks that are sometimes shallow. Capture is recorded mainly at night on coral banks off Mafia Island, Tanzania, in 9 to 12 m, and off Zanzibar in about 75 m. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range; Biology · verified	Only the second has a record
Feeding	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase records that this species is active at night, feeding over sandy or rubble bottoms. The source names no prey for it, so no particular diet is attributed to the species here. 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 Indian Ocean distribution, from the Red Sea east to the Arabian Sea and south to Natal, South Africa. The source adds that records from the eastern Indian Ocean and the Western Central Pacific are probably misidentifications of Lutjanus malabaricus, and that recent authors have misidentified this fish as Lutjanus coccineus.

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.
