Real-world information
The red snapper, or Lutjanus campechanus, is a type of reef fish found in the Gulf of Mexico. It is Latin American and original name is Pargo, which some people may recognize it as. They can be caught up to 90 m (300 ft) below the surface of the water, and prefer to swim near the bottom in reefs, ridges, and even offshore oil rigs and shipwrecks! It shares its looks with other snapper fish, with the sloped profile of its body (between the mouth to the top of its head). However, it lacks prominent upper canine teeth found in other snapper fish but has sharp, needle like teeth in their place. They are a commercial fish as well as a recreational fish, making it somewhat overfished. This is reflected in red snapper sales in the US, which most are in fact different species of snapper fish, just mislabeled. It can live up to 50 years of age.
