Snapper (Fuedai) - Lutjanus stellatus

Japanese: フエダイ(笛鯛) - フエダイ(英語表記)Lutjanus stellatus
Snapper (Fuedai) - Lutjanus stellatus
A marine fish of the Lutjanidae family in the order Perciformes. It has a body shape similar to that of a sea bream, but the tip of the head is slightly pointed. The body color is brown with a slight orange tinge. The abdomen is lighter in color. There is a blue vertical stripe on the head, and there is a round white spot 2-3 scales above the lateral line at the lower anterior end of the soft part of the dorsal fin. It is distributed from Ibaraki Prefecture to Okinawa. It is not known from the Yaeyama Islands, the southwest Pacific Ocean, or the Indian Ocean. It grows to about 40 cm in total length. Traditionally, the scientific name of the snapper was L. rivulatus , but it has been revealed that it is different from the true L. rivulatus (L. stellatus), and the new scientific name L. stellatus has been proposed.
