Seamount
assistant
what can you tell about its geographic features?
user
Seamounts can be found in every ocean basin in the world, distributed extremely widely both in space and in age. A seamount is technically defined as an isolated rise in elevation of or more from the surrounding seafloor, and with a limited summit area, of conical form.
assistant
how are these chain of mountains formed?
user
Formed millions of years ago by volcanism, they have since subsided far below sea level. This long chain of islands and seamounts extends thousands of kilometers northwest from the island of Hawaii.
assistant
what can you tell about its structure?
user
Seamounts can form in a wide variety of tectonic settings, resulting in a very diverse structural bank. Seamounts come in a wide variety of structural shapes, from conical to flat-topped to complexly shaped. Some are built very large and very low
assistant
how can you describe its ecological role?
user
Seamounts are exceptionally important to their biome ecologically, but their role in their environment is poorly understood. Because they project out above the surrounding sea floor, they disturb standard water flow, causing eddies and associated hydrological phenomena that ultimately result in water movement in an otherwise still ocean bottom.
assistant
any type of danger associated with it?
user
Yes, seamounts have not been mapped and thus pose a navigational danger.
assistant
what can you tell about its fishing?
user
Seamounts were first extensively fished in the second half of the 20th century, due to poor management practices and increased fishing pressure seriously depleting stock numbers on the typical fishing ground, the continental shelf. Seamounts have been the site of targeted fishing since that time.

Redfish is a common name for several species of fish. It is most commonly applied to certain deep-sea rockfish in the genus "Sebastes", or the reef dwelling snappers in the genus "Lutjanus". It is also applied to the slimeheads or roughies (family Trachichthyidae), and the alfonsinos (Berycidae).
Redfish | Introduction
The two-spot red snapper can reach a length of , though most do not exceed . The greatest recorded weight for this species is . These large reddish tropical snappers show darker fins, a rounded profile of head and a groove running from the nostrils to the eyes. They have 10 dorsal spines and 3 anal spines. Juveniles and some adults have two silvery-white spots (hence the common name) on the back close to their dorsal fins, while larger adults lose the spots and become mostly red. Large adults may cause ciguatera poisoning. This species is a commercially important species and is also sought-after as a game fish.
Lutjanus bohar | Description
This fish was first described in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the tenth edition of his System Naturae. He gave it the name "Sparus pagrus" but it has since been moved to the genus "Pagrus". Common names given to this fish include red porgy, common seabream and porgy. Along the Gulf Coast, it is known as the white snapper, even though it is not a true snapper. In the United Kingdom, it is known as Couch's seabream after the Cornish ichthyologist Dr. Jonathan Couch who first discovered this species in the waters around Britain.
Red porgy | Taxonomy
The northern red snapper's body is very similar in shape to other snappers, such as the mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, lane snapper, and dog snapper. All feature a sloped profile, medium-to-large scales, a spiny dorsal fin, and a laterally compressed body. Northern red snapper have short, sharp, needle-like teeth, but they lack the prominent upper canine teeth found on the mutton, dog, and mangrove snappers. They are rather large and are red in color. This snapper reaches maturity at a length of about . The common adult length is , but may reach . The maximum published weight is 50 lb, 4 oz (22.79 kg) and the oldest reported age is 100+ years.

The humpback red snapper or paddletail snapper, "Lutjanus gibbus", is a species of snapper native to the Indian Ocean from the coast of Africa and the Red Sea to the western Pacific Ocean. It is mostly an inhabitant of coral reefs at depths of from , with the juveniles being found in beds of seagrass or on sheltered coral reefs and subadults and adults found on sloping substrates. This species can reach a length of . It is a commercially important species, as well as being sought after as a game fish. It is also a popular species for display in public aquaria.
Humpback red snapper | Introduction
The mangrove red snapper ("Lutjanus argentimaculatus"), commonly called mangrove jack within Australia, is a species of snapper. It is also known as creek red bream, the Stuart evader, dog bream, mangrove red snapper, purple sea perch, purple sea-perch, red bream, red perch, red reef bream, river roman, or rock barramundi.
Mangrove red snapper | Introduction
The lower sides and belly are lighter; there is no dark lateral spot below the anterior part of soft dorsal fin. There are 8 narrow, light vertical bars on the side of the body which may be faded or absent in large adults. A solid or broken blue line runs beneath the eye; it may also disappear with growth. From the upper jaw to the tip of the fleshy opercle, the line is often broken into parts that resemble dashes and spots. The fin and tail is bright yellow, yellow green, or pale orange, and the snout contains blue stripes.
Schoolmaster snapper | Characteristics
These schools are usually made up of fish of very similar size. The preferred habitat of this species changes as it grows and matures due to increased need for cover and changing food habits. Newly hatched red snapper spread out over large areas of open benthic habitat, then move to low-relief habitats, such as oyster beds. As they near one year of age, they move to intermediate-relief habitats as the previous year's fish move on to high-relief reefs with room for more individuals. Around artificial reefs such as oil platforms, smaller fish spend time in the upper part of the water column while more mature (and larger) adults live in deeper areas.
Northern red snapper | Distribution
The red bass, however, is usually darker in coloration, has fewer dorsal-fin spines, scale rows on the back that rise obliquely from the lateral line, and a deep groove from the nostrils to the eyes.

Retroculus lapidifer | Description
The yelloweye rockfish ("Sebastes ruberrimus") is a rockfish of the genus "Sebastes", and one of the biggest members of the genus. Its name derives from its coloration. It is also locally known as "red snapper", not to be confused with the warm-water Atlantic species "Lutjanus campechanus" that formally carries the name red snapper. The yelloweye is one of the world's longest-lived fish species, and is cited to live to a maximum of 114 to 120 years of age. As they grow older, they change in color, from reddish in youth, to bright orange in adulthood, to pale yellow in old age.

Diaz reported weight vs. length data for "L. campechanus" for the National Marine Fisheries Service (US). As northern red snapper grow longer, they increase in weight, but the relationship between length and weight is not linear. The relationship between total length (L, in inches) and total weight (W, in pounds) for nearly all species of fish can be expressed by an equation of the form: formula_1 Invariably, b is close to 3.0 for all species, and c is a constant that varies among species. Diaz reported that for red snapper, c=0.000010 and b=3.076. These values are for inputs of length in cm and result in weight in kg.

According to web site FoodRepublic.com, the Red Snapper originated in post-Prohibition New York City. A French barman named Fernand “Pete” Petiot left Harry's New York Bar in Paris to work at the King Cole Room at the St. Regis Hotel in NYC. Petiot had been known in Paris for the tomato juice and vodka drink the Bloody Mary, which was reportedly named after a customer. Vodka was hard to come by in New York so Petiot swapped it out with Gin. The Astors, owners of the St. Regis, didn't like the name Bloody Mary and so Red Snapper was chosen instead.

Red perch | Introduction
The first minimum size limit was introduced in 1984, after a 1981 report described quickly declining harvests (both commercial and recreational) From 1985 to 1990, the annual recreational catch of red snapper was about 1.5 million. From 1991 to 2005, the catch was substantially higher, varying from year to year from 2.5 to 4.0 million. When northern red snapper bite on a line, they tend to be nibblers and pickers, and a soft touch is needed when trying to catch them. Because the older red snapper like structure, anglers use bottom fishing over reefs, wrecks, and oil rigs, and use line and supplies in the 50-lb class.
Northern red snapper | Commercial and recreational use
The describer, Albert Günther, named the fish after his longtime colleague John Edward Gray. The English word "char[r]" is thought to derive from Old Irish "ceara"/"cera" meaning "[blood] red," referring to its pink-red underside. This would also connect with its Welsh name "torgoch", "red belly."

Mangrove red snapper is a popular and important commercial and recreational fish throughout its range, and considered to be an excellent food fish. For fishermen, the telltale sign of a hooked mangrove red snapper is the explosive run for cover once the bait (or lure) is taken. Many fish (and so lures) are lost once they reach the protection of the snags as a result of their initial burst of speed. The mangrove red snapper is a highly regarded table fish with firm, sweet-tasting, white flesh. While often a nuisance species when targeting the infamous barramundi, many fisherman rate the eating qualities of the jack higher than it.

The red-backed kingfisher was first described by the English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould in 1841. He coined the binomial name "Halcyon pyrrhopygia". It was known for many years by this scientific name before being transferred to the genus "Todiramphus". The generic name is derived from the genus "Todus" (Brisson, 1760), 'tody' (a West Indian insectivorous bird) and Ancient Greek "rhamphos", 'bill'. Its specific epithet is derived from the Ancient Greek words "pyrrho-"/πυρρο- 'flame-coloured' or 'red' and "pyge"/πυγή 'rump'. The species is monotypic.

All three species are known to hybridize with each other, with hybrids between red-naped and red-breasted sapsuckers proving particularly common. The genus name "Sphyrapicus" is a combination of the Greek words "sphura", meaning "hammer" and "pikos", meaning "woodpecker". The specific name "nuchalis" is a modern Latin word meaning "of the nape". In its common name, "red-naped" refers to the red patch on the back of the bird's head, while "sapsucker" refers to its distinctive method of feeding.
