Beach seining was the most efficient sampling method in terms of species richness and diversity, total number of fishes caught, and size range of fishes.
The most speciose teleost families found were Lutjanidae (6 species), Leiognathidae (4), Hemiramphidae (4), Carangidae (3), and Mullidae (3).
Of the 54 species caught, 42.6% were present only as juveniles, 42.6% as both juveniles and adults, and 14.8% as adults only.

Day-night shifts of fishes between shallow-water biotopes of a Caribbean bay, with emphasis on the nocturnal feeding of Haemulidae and Lutjanidae
All biotopes, except the algal beds, showed a strong reduction in fish density and species richness at night, caused by absence of diurnally active fishes and migrations of Haemulidae and Lutjanidae to the seagrass beds.
The nocturnally active Haemulidae and Lutjanidae, on the other hand, migrated from their daytime shelter sites to the seagrass beds at night to feed.

 New species of snapper discovered in Brazil
The international science journal Zootaxa announced the discovery of Lutjanus alexandrei, a new snapper species that belongs to the Lutjanidae family, by researchers Rodrigo Moura of Conservation International (CI) and Kenyon Lindeman of Environmental Defense.
The study published in Zootaxa provides a revised key for identifying all Lutjanus species in the western Atlantic, along with evidence that the new species completes its life cycle in different but interdependent marine habitats such as coral reefs and mangroves.
Twelve species of the family Lutjanidae, including the new discovery, are now identified in the western Atlantic Ocean.

Visual censuses were used to survey shallow-water assemblages of the Lutjanidae and Lethrinidae among three mid-continental shelf reefs, and fish traps were used to survey deeper water assemblages below diveable depths.
Significant differences were found in visual censuses of the Lutjanidae and Lethrinidae among reefs.
Trap catches of the Lutjanidae and Lethrinidae varied more between depths and diel sampling periods than among reefs or over time.

All told there are twenty one genera and some hundred seven described species of snappers.

Take a look at a "typical" snapper; they all have a similar body plan; a continuous (or shallowly notched) dorsal fin with 9-12 spines and 9-18 soft rays; an anal fin of three spines and 7-11 soft rays.

(Digenea: Cryptogonimidae) is described from the intestine, pyloric ceca, and rectum of 2 species of Lutjanus (Pisces: Lutjanidae), Lutjanus carponotatus and Lutjanus fulviflamma, from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia, and New Caledonia.
The genus is tentatively placed in the Neochasminae and is distinguished within the Cryptogonimidae by the combination of follicular testes, oral spines, and vitelline follicles restricted to the anterior region of the body not extending posteriorly to the ventral sucker.
