“Among other families, the lutjanids appear to be gonochoristic throughout life although the population sex ratio as well as the sex ratio at size may frequently be skewed resulting from differential growth and mortality rates among the sexes (Grimes, 1987).”

“Smaller species of lutjanids require fewer resources per individual and can form schools year-round.”

“The tightly coiled gut, small gas bladder, pigment pattern, early-forming head spination and early-forming spines of the pelvic fin and dorsal fin are useful distinguishing characteristics of the lutjanids.”
