The Caribbean Sea is home to a variety of snapper species, each contributing to the reef’s biodiversity. Snappers are part of the Lutjanidae family, known for their vibrant colors and significant role in both commercial fishing and reef health. Among them, the yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus) stands out for its distinctive yellow and blue stripes, while the mutton snapper (Lutjanus analis) is recognized by its olive-green color and a black spot on the back. These fish vary in size, with some species growing up to 40 inches long, and they play a crucial role in the food web as both predators and prey. The snappers’ life cycles and reproductive habits are closely tied to the reef, where they find food, shelter, and breeding grounds.
