Abstract:
Lutianus erythropterus (Grimson snapper) is one of the most common snappers in the
southeastern region of Vietnam. The Grimson snapper fishery in this region is a very
important source of food and revenue for Vietnam, but knowledge of the biology of the
species is rare. This work presents first results on age and length, growth-rate, length -
weight relationship, periods of spawning, feeding intensity and food composition of this
species.
