Text Appearing After Image:
Mycteroperca r. Gill-rakers rather few, xi-12; body without dark cross-bars. s. Scales very small, about 20-140-37; caudal not deeply lunate, eye small bowersi, 394 ss. Scales larger, about 90 to 100 in lateral line; caudal deeply lunate; eye larger calliura, 394 rr. Gill-rakers very few, short and thick, about ;c+6; body with light and dark cross-bars. /. Ground colour dark olive tigris, 394 //. Ground colour bright red camclopardalis, 395 The species of this genus are very numerous and most of themvery closely related. While all are excellent for food, the scarcity ofsome and the distance of others from a market leave but few that areof great importance as food-fishes. So many of the species are soclosely related that detailed descriptions hardly seem necessary. Thekey given above will usually be found sufficient for the identificationof any of the known species.
