Topic: Centropomus


In the News (Thu 31 May 12)

  
  Species Name
The common snook, Centropomus undecimalis, is a subtropical marine/estuarine species (Gilmore, et al 1978; Shafland and Foote 1983) which is by far the most abundant and wide-ranging of all snook species (Marshall 1958).
It is easily distinguished by its sloping forehead, protruding lower jaw, prominent lateral line, elongate body form and the position of the tips of its pelvic fins in relation to the anus (Seaman and Collins 1983).
Centropomus undecimalis ranges from the coastal mid-Atlantic United States to Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, with the center of abundance being coastal Florida.

There are four species of snook found in Florida, but Centropomus undecimalis, or common snook, is the most common species of snook sought after by most fishermen.
Centropomus ensiferus, the sword-spined snook, is the smallest species in Florida waters, and it is the rarest species with a large anal spine.
Centropomus pectinatus, the tarpon snook, is so called because it has an upturned mouth, similar to a tarpon's jaw, has larger scales than the fat snook.

 Centropomidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The species in the family are primarily found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Americas.
The family includes only one known genus, Centropomus, with twelve species, including the common snook or róbalo (Centropomus undecimalis).
Prior to 2004, three other genera were placed in Centropomidae in subfamily Latinae, which has since been raised to the family level and renamed Latidae because a cladistic analysis showed the old Centropomidae to be paraphyletic.

At present, the family Centropomidae comprises the genus Centropomus (American tropics and subtropics), Lates, inlcude the large Nile Perch (Africa) and Psammopera (Indo Pacific) Until recently the diminutive glass fish that are a favorite of aquarium hobbyists (Chanda Lala) were included in the Centropomidae but are now placed in their own family.
The species of Centropomus form a compact homogeneous group very distinct from their relatives on the other side of the world.
The genius Centropomus is confined to the American Tropics and subtropics.

 Panama snook fishing guide giant tarpon fishing charters
The Robalo or Common Snook (Centropomus Undecimalis) commonly has eleven to thirteen non-rudimentary gill rakers and the Mexican Snook (Centropomus Poeyi) is most often found to possess fifteen to eighteen non-rudimentary gill rakers.
Curiously, laboratory reared specimens of the Common Snook (Centropomus Undecimalis) showed meristic variations in vertebrae, fin ray and gill raker numbers not observed in specimens from the wild collected on sport fishing snook trips.
The two Pacific Ocean species of large Robalo (Centropomus Viridis and Centropomus Nigrescens) are somewhat easier for Panama snook sport fishing guides to distinguish.

However, although Centropomus spp., shows good potential for culture (Tucker, 1987), production of juveniles is still at an experimental level (Edwards and Henderson, 1987; Tucker, 1987; Amador del Angel and Cabrera Rodriguez, 1994).

A new species of Acantholochus Cressey, 1984 (Copepoda: Bomolochidae) parasitic on the gills of common snook, Centropomus undecimalis, from the coastal zone of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is described and illustrated.
Acantholochus Cressey, 1984 was proposed to include bomolochid species with rostral hooks, with heavily sclerotized spines on the third exopod segments and without modified setae on antennule.
During a parasitological survey of Brazilian marine fishes, specimens of an undescribed species of Acan-tholochus were collected from the gills of Centropomus undecimalis (Bloch, 1792).

The common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) is by far the most often encountered.
the fat snook (Centropomus paralleus), tarpon snook (Centropomus pectinatus), and the sword-spined snook (Centropomus ensiferus) complete the lineup, but rarely grow large enough to be legally caught by fishermen.

We evaluated the retention of coded wire tags and two types of internal anchor tags and tagging-related mortality in hatchery-reared juvenile snook Centropomus undecimalis.
Retention of coded wire tags was evaluated in snook 60 - 115 mm SL for 60 d posttagging, and retention of internal anchor tags with disk- and T-style anchors was evaluated in snook 110 - 180 mm SL for 30 d posttagging.
For all types of tags and fish sizes tested, tagging did not significantly affect snook survival.
