1. GREAT FAMILY LUTJANIDAE

The snapper belongs to the great Lutjanidae family and this one as well conforms more than 350 species, divided in practically 17 sorts, being most representative at world-wide level Lutjanus.
This species this distributed in the Indian Ocean, Atlantic and Pacific from the south of California, where it is known like Network Snapper until Corozal, Colombia. Existing registries of captures non confirmed until the North zone of Peru.
The fossil registries of the snapper, indicate us that this species dates from the Tertiary one, Eocene, reason why it is a fact that this population has managed to evolve until the point to become a species absolutely adapted to the present conditions in the Tropical and Subtropics of the planet, where the temperatures oscillate between 25°C and 37°C.

Its distribution includes practically the totality of the existing marine biotopes in the coastal zone, including mangles, reefs, coastal lagoons, estuaries and areas with fresh water with salinities until of 50 ppm (parts by million).
In all these areas, we can find them from the 30 centimeters of depth to the 125 meters or more.
The Lutjanidae family can be divided in four great subfamilies, that is to say:
* The Subfamily Etilanae, who includes five sorts as well: Aphareuis, Apricon, Etilis, Pritipomoides and Randallichthys.
All of them characterize for being fish elongated with fin of great volume strongly branched off and rays of more well-known extended the later dorsal fin and anal fin.
* Subfamily Apsilinae, composed by four sorts that are: Apsilus, Lipocheiluus, Paracaesio and Parapristipomoides, being all of them less elongados than the previous ones and with the last ray of shorter the dorsal and anal fin.

The most excellent characteristics of this family are that they have a high body with the fin of great volume marginalized and very little branched off. The grudges in the base of the dorsal and anal fin are inlaid to the skin. They are characterized not to have vomerinos teeth and in addition in certain smooth dorsal fins and annals are filamentous prolongations.
* The subfamily Lutjaninae who this conformed by six sorts, that is to say the Hoplopagrus, Macolor, Ocyurus, Pinjalo, Rhomboplites and Lutjanus.
The body of them is extended, with its strongly branched off fin of great volume truncated and. It presents/displays grudges in the base of the dorsal fin and in the fin of great volume inlaid in the skin and all they have its characteristic vomeridos teeth.
