Manual for identification of 100 common species in the fisheries targeting snappers, groupers, and emperors in Indonesia

The manual focuses on the characteristics that tell the species apart, with pictures of similar species side-by-side. Most of the pictures are taken by fishers participating in YKAN's Crew-Operated Data Recording system, featuring a measuring board in the background. The manual is divided into several sections, with the first section introducing the species and their habitats. The species are grouped into families, with the Lutjanidae family being one of the most prominent. This family includes species such as the Aphareus rutilans, Aprion virescens, and Etelis carbunculus. The Aphareus rutilans, also known as the red snapper, is a species of snapper found in the Indo-Pacific region. It has a distinctive red color with yellow spots and a long, pointed snout. The Aprion virescens, or the green jobfish, is another species of snapper found in the same region. It has a greenish-brown color with yellow spots and a short, rounded snout. The Etelis carbunculus, or the redmouth snapper, is a species of snapper found in the Indo-Pacific region. It has a distinctive red color with yellow spots and a long, pointed snout. The Etelis boweni, or the yellowtail snapper, is another species of snapper found in the same region. It has a yellowish-brown color with yellow spots and a short, rounded snout. The manual also includes pictures and descriptions of other species, such as the Pristipomoides multidens, Pristipomoides typus, and Lutjanus bitaeniatus. These species are all found in the Indo-Pacific region and are commonly targeted by fisheries. The manual is a valuable resource for fisheries managers, researchers, and conservationists who need to identify and classify species in the Indo-Pacific region. It provides a comprehensive guide to the distinguishing features of 100 common species of snappers, groupers, and emperors, and is an essential tool for anyone working in the field of fisheries conservation. The manual was developed by a team of experts from Yayasan Konservasi Alam Nusantara and People and Nature Consulting International, with the support of the Indonesian government and other stakeholders. The manual is available in print and digital formats, and can be accessed by anyone with an interest in fisheries conservation. The manual is divided into several sections, including an introduction, a section on the Lutjanidae family, and a section on other species. The introduction provides an overview of the species and their habitats, while the section on the Lutjanidae family provides a detailed description of the species within this family. The section on other species provides a description of the remaining species, including their distinguishing features and habitats. The manual includes a total of 100 species, with pictures and descriptions of each species. The pictures are taken by fishers participating in YKAN's Crew-Operated Data Recording system, and feature a measuring board in the background.
