Commonly called Mangrove Jack within Australia, the Mangrove Red Snapper is a powerful sport fish popular for it's flavour and fighting qualities. As ambush predators, these fish often hide around mangrove roots, fallen trees, rock walls and other snag areas where smaller prey reside for protection. For fishermen, these fish are most easily identified by their explosive run for cover once the hooked snappers take the bait. This initial burst of speed allows the fish to gain protection of the snag areas and the lures/baits are lost. Mature red snappers move into open waters to breed. Though they still remain difficult to catch due to their speed and proximity to sharp reef bottoms, these fish are sometimes landed by bottom fishers with heavy tackles. The mangrove red snapper is a highly regarded table fish with firm, sweet-tasting white flesh.

📚 Natural History
Reproduction
Spawning occurs throughout the year. Fertilisation is external. Fertilized eggs of L. argentimaculatus are transparent, spherical and pelagic, and measure 0.74-0.81 mm in diameter. These fish are nonguarders and scatter their eggs in open water/substratum.

Migration
Oceanodromous. Migrating within oceans typically between spawning and different feeding areas, as tunas do. Migrations are cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km. Adults eventually migrate offshore to deeper reef areas, sometimes penetrating to depths in excess of 100 m.

Diseases
Mass mortality in hatchery reared juvenile L. argentimaculatus due to parasitic dinoflagellate, Amyloodinium ocellatum, was reported in the Philippines (Cruz-Lacierda et al. 2004).
Mortality due to possible ammonia poisoning was observed at Tuticorin bay, East coast of India (Asha et al., 2009).
Fish lymphocystis disease (FLD) cause due to iridovirus measuring 130-330 nm, was reported in marine net cage cultured L. argentimaculatus in China (Yogija, 1992) and in South east Asia (Chang & Chao, 1986).

📚 Uses and Management
Uses
A fine game fish. An important market species with excellent flesh, throughout the Indo-Pacific region, but never found in large quantities. A good aquaculture species because it doesn't get rancid easily when frozen. It commands a good export market price with no limit on body size. Found in Hong Kong live fish markets.
