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 Etelinae, within the series Eupercaria among the teleosts. The source describes a marine, demersal fish of tropical waters over a depth range of 40 - 350 m, usually 125 - 275 m. It records a maximum length of 90.0 cm TL, a common length of 70.0 cm TL and a maximum reported age of 30 years. Its length at first maturity is entered as 41.7 cm in a range of 35 - 50 cm, which is a maturity length and not a maximum.

Morphology	The register holds no row for this field.	The source gives 10 dorsal spines with 11 dorsal soft rays, 3 anal spines and 8 anal soft rays. It describes a flat interorbital space and a slightly protruding lower jaw. The bases of the dorsal and anal fins carry no scales and their last soft rays are extended into short filaments, the pectoral fins are long and reach the level of the anus, and the scale rows on the back run parallel to the lateral line. On the side of the snout and the cheek it records 2 golden stripes bordered with blue, and on the top of the head a series of chevron-shaped yellow bands. Body shape is entered as fusiform or normal, with an oval cross section. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Short description · verified	Only the second has a record
Reproduction	The register holds no row for this field.	The source reports that studies in the South China Sea and in Hawaii suggest this species is a serial spawner, and that similar work in Australia suggests a multiple spawner, perhaps a serial spawner. The wording is the source's own and it states a suggestion rather than a settled finding.

Distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	The source gives an Indo-Pacific range: East Africa and the Red Sea to Samoa, and southern Japan southward to Australia. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Distribution · verified	Only the second has a record
Maximum recorded length	The register holds no row for this field.	90 cm Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Size / Weight / Age · verified	Only the second has a record
Depth range	The register holds no row for this field.	40 – 350 m Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range · verified	Only the second has a record
Feeding	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase records a diet of fishes, shrimps, crabs, lobsters, stomatopods, squids, gastropods and urochordates. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Biology · verified	Only the second has a record
Habitat and distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase holds this fish as marine and demersal in a tropical climate, over a depth range of 40 - 350 m and usually 125 - 275 m. The source calls the gold band snappers deepwater fish of tropical and sub-tropical waters, describes them as schooling, and places them in areas of hard, rocky and uneven sea floor and on steep ground off islands.

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.
