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.

Maximum recorded length	The register holds no row for this field.	116 cm Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age · verified	Only the second has a record
Reproduction	The register holds no row for this field.	The source states that emperor red snappers are broadcast spawners. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Life cycle and mating behavior · verified	Only the second has a record
Habitat and distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	The source states that adults occur in the vicinity of coral or rocky reefs, often over adjacent sand flats and gravel patches, and that they are also trawled in deeper water on relatively flat bottoms. Juveniles less than 20 cm long are common in near shore, turbid waters, in mangrove areas, or among both coastal and deeper water offshore reefs, and they move to deeper waters as they grow larger. The source gives a depth range of 5 to 180 m. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range; Biology · verified	Only the second has a record
Morphology	The register holds no row for this field.	The source gives 11 dorsal spines and 15 to 16 dorsal soft rays, and 3 anal spines and 10 anal soft rays. It describes the dorsal profile of the head as steeply sloped, and gives the body depth as 2.6 to 3.0 in SL. The colour is generally red or pink, darker on the back, with red fins except the pectorals, which are pink. The source states that juveniles and small adults have a dark red band from the first dorsal spine through the eye to the tip of the snout, a second band from the mid-dorsal fin to the pelvic fin, and a third from the base of the last dorsal spine to the caudal peduncle, and that large adults become uniformly red.

General description	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase places this species in the family Lutjanidae, which it names as the snappers. It records the species as marine, brackish and reef-associated, and gives a maximum length of 116 cm FL, a common length of 60.0 cm TL, a maximum published weight of 32.7 kg and a maximum reported age of 40 years.

Feeding	The register holds no row for this field.	The source states that they feed on fishes, crabs, stomatopods, other benthic crustaceans and cephalopods. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Biology (diet sentence) · verified	Only the second has a record
Distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	The source places the species in the Indo-West Pacific: from the southern Red Sea and East Africa to New Caledonia, north to southern Japan and south to Australia.

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.
