Etymology: Lutjanus: Malay, ikan lutjan, name of a fish.
More on author: Cuvier.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / गहराई सीमा / distribution range
पारिस्थितिकी
समुद्री प्रवाल-भित्ति संयुक्त; गहराई सीमा 9 - 150 m (Ref. 9710). Tropical; 31°N - 30°S, 30°E - 77°E (Ref. 55)
Western Indian Ocean: Red Sea east to the Arabian Sea and south to Natal, South Africa. Records of this species from the eastern Indian Ocean and the Western Central Pacific are probably misidentifications of Lutjanus malabaricus (Ref. 55). Has been misidentified as Lutjanus coccineus by recent authors.
Length at first maturity / आकार / वज़न / Age
परिपक्व अवधि: Lm 51.1, range 50 - 60 cm
Max length : 100.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 9710); common length : 70.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 5450); अधिकतम प्रकाशित वज़न: 23.0 kg (Ref. 469); अधिकतम सूचित उम्र: 13 वर्षो (Ref. 1488)
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 10; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 13 - 14; गुदा कांटा: 3; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 8 - 9. Dorsal profile of head angular, snout steeply sloped. Preorbital bone broad, with horizontal grooves behind and below the eye. Anterior and posterior nostrils widely spaced. Preopercular notch and knob poorly developed. Scale rows on back rising obliquely above lateral line. Juveniles with a broad brown bar from upper jaw to beginning of dorsal fin and a series of reddish horizontal lines on sides.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Adults inhabit coral and rocky reefs to depths of at least 100 m (Ref. 30573). Off South Africa they display a preference for slightly silty, turbid regions in the vicinity of sometimes shallow, offshore banks. Captured mainly at night on coral banks off Mafia Island (Tanzania) in 9 to 12 m and off Zanzibar in about 75 m. They are active at night feeding over sandy or rubble bottoms (Ref. 9710). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 9773.
