Blood Snapper - Evynnis japonica

Japanese: チダイ(血鯛) - チダイ(英語表記)Evynnis japonica
Blood Snapper - Evynnis japonica
A marine fish of the Sparidae family in the order Perciformes (illustration). Because it closely resembles red sea bream, it is often used as a substitute for red sea bream or is not distinguished from it, but the crimson sea bream can be distinguished by the fact that the rear edge of the tail fin is not bordered black. The edges of the gill covers are also red, as if they were bloody. It reaches a total length of 45 cm. It is distributed throughout Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and the East China Sea, but is more prevalent in the south. It has many local names, such as Hidai in Iki and Tsushima, and Kodai in Kochi and Niigata prefectures. In addition, the forehead of adult males protrudes, so it is called Ooppana in Tokyo and Hanadai in Choshi.

Japanese:
スズキ目タイ科の海産魚(イラスト)。マダイにたいへんよく似ているため,マダイの代用品とされたり,区別されないことも多いが,チダイは尾びれの後縁が黒く縁取られていないことで区別できる。また,えらぶたの縁が血がついたように赤くなっている。全長45cmに達する。日本各地,朝鮮半島,東シナ海に分布しているが,南方に多い。地方名も多く,壱岐,対馬でヒダイ,高知県,新潟県でコダイと呼ばれる。また,雄の成魚では前額部が突出してくるので東京都でオオッパナ,銚子でハナダイと呼ばれる。
