Description
The two-spot red snapper, Lutjanus bohar, is a species of snapper native to the Indian Ocean from the African coast to the western Pacific Ocean. It is a coral reef inhabitant, being found at depths from 4 to 180 m (13 to 591 ft), though usually between 10 and 70 m (33 and 230 ft). Adult snappers often form large schools on the outer reefs or above sandy areas, mainly to form spawning aggregations. This species is a commercially important species and is also sought-after as a game fish. It is also known as the red bass, twinspot snapper or Bohar snapper.
