Info
Lethrinus reticulatus occurs either solitarily or in groups in its known areas of occurrence.
The snapper is a food fish that is commercially fished, mainly with trawls and handlines.
The body of the snapper is olive gray or light brown, often with scattered irregular black spots.
The base of the pectoral fin, the upper edge of the operculum, and sometimes the rear edge of the preoperculum are red in color.
The head is brown or olive with a somewhat indistinct reddish band on the snout, which begins in the middle between the eye and the snout and ends at the tip of the snout.
The lips of the street sweeper are red, the fins pale or orange.
Etymology:
The species name “reticulatus” means net-like or reticulated, referring to the soft rays of the dorsal, caudal, and anal fins, which are very thin and covered with a black network of fine lines.
