Snapper?diāo?

The true snapper, with a red body and blue spots, has delicious meat. Commonly known as "gagi".

The sea bream eats shellfish, shrimp, and sea animals in the deeper parts of the sea near the coast. They have small blue dots scattered in what appears to be dark gray water, but in reality they are almost red in color. They come to shallow places to spawn when they are about 4 to 6 months old, and before that, the snapper in early spring is called parrot snapper, and it is the fish with the best flavor and the most expensive price.

The sea bream is the general name of the fish in the family of sea bream (porgy). The body is laterally flat, long oval, with a large head and small mouth. It lives in the ocean. There are many kinds of fish. It is the main edible economic fish in China. Such as: Tiangasa seabream; red hats seabream; stone seabream.

A collective name for about 100 species of marine fish, typically high-backed like flute snapper or rock bass. It has one dorsal fin, a small mouth, and sharp teeth, and feeds on fish and crustacean invertebrates. It generally resides in freshwater and is widespread in tropical and temperate waters. Most are less than 30 centimeters (1 foot) long, but some can grow up to four times that length. Australia has several important food species called snappers, which belong to the genus Chrysophrys. In Japan, there is a closely related species; C. major, another important food fish. There are also several valuable species in Europe, such as the small snapper (Pagellus centrodontus), which has a light red or gold-silver body and lives in deep water. In the western Atlantic there is the golden-eyed menhaden (Stenotomus chrysops), a small fish with a light brown dorsal side and silvery-white ventral side, and the sheepshead snapper (Archosargus probatocephalus), a light gray fish with black bands, up to 75 centimeters long and weighing up to 9 kilograms, both of which can be caught as food fish.

This family of fishes is widely distributed in shallow waters along the tropical and temperate coasts of the world's oceans. A few inhabit deep water. The average depth of water is about ten to one hundred meters. Most of them are schooling, but a few will invade estuaries. Most of the family are carnivorous or omnivorous. Many seabreams are hermaphroditic, i.e. they have both female and male gonads. Some will change from male to female or female to male, but their body color does not change with the "sex change".

This family of fishes is similar in appearance to the snappers or rock basses, but the snappers are taller and more laterally compressed; the incisors, canines, and molars on both sides of the upper and lower jaws are more developed. The body is oval or ovoid, the head is large, the front part of the body is higher, the dorsal margin is curved, and the ventral margin is flat. The head and cheeks are usually scaled with large, weakly pectinated ctenophores or rounded scales. The lateral line is single and complete, favoring the dorsal side. There is variation in body shape and lateral markings.
