- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Lutjanus griseus
- Average Weight: 8 - 10 lbs.
- Location & Habitat: The Mangrove Snapper is found in the western Atlantic Ocean from Massachusetts to Bermuda, southward to Brazil, Bahamas, West Indies, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. It is especially abundant around the coastline of Florida. Mangrove Snappers reside in coastal as well as offshore waters from very shallow areas to depths of 585 feet. Large aggregations of this snapper are frequently observed amongst coral reefs, rocky areas, estuaries, and mangrove habitats. Young Mangrove Snappers live inshore in areas such as seagrass beds as well as soft and sand-bottom areas but may be found in a variety of habitats and a number of inshore habitats are important nurseries for this species. Both adults and juveniles have been found in freshwater lakes and rivers in south Florida, a clear indication that the species is tolerant of a broad range of salinity levels.
- Biology:The Mangrove Snapper is one of the smaller snappers, rarely exceeding 18 inches in length, and is almost always less than 10 pounds. Maximum size is 24 inches and 10lbs. Sexual maturity is obtained after about 2 years of age, at lengths of 7-13 inches and the estimated maximum age for this snapper is 25 years.
- Physical Description: The Mangrove Snapper has a relatively slender body, a large mouth, and a pointed snout. The anal fin is rounded and the pectoral fins short, not reaching the anal fin. Young cubera snapper may be easily confused with Mangrove Snapper and careful comparison of the vomerine teeth (found on the roof of the mouth) of either species is the most reliable means of discerning the two.Male and female Mangrove Snapper are externally indiscernible. Although the general ground color for this species may vary, especially so in the case of juveniles, in general the body and fins of Mangrove Snappers are gray to green with a reddish tinge.
