Snapping turtle that has grown up in our pond. Quick roll over.

close up shot of black snapper..

The snapper are a family of perciform fishes, mainly marine but with some members living in estuaries, and entering fresh water to feed. Some are important food fish. One of the best known is the red snapper.

Sweet snapper Josh! Reel Bliss goes to Mexico

Came upon this snapping turtle birthing in Door County, Wisconsin. Kept distance so as to capture and not disturb.

Seared red snapper with pomegranate sauce served over a puré of carrots.

 

This is one of the daily dinner specials offered at Daiquiri Dick's restaurant in Puerto Vallarta.

It takes a lot of energy to move this mass so it is no surprise to find this big Snapper resting. It is so seldom that you can find more than the noise and part of the shell above the waterline so I get excited when they rest up on a log in the water.

A wonderful looking Midnight Snapper from our 5 Day Timor Box trips

Photographer on the bridge at Llanfairpwllgwyngyll etc. station.

Caught this Snapper on 50lb braided line using squid as bait. Boat was 25miles of the coast of Port Victoria on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. It was 43C but there was plenty of beer :-) and the sea was calm as can be. I caught this on my first cast; you wouldn't read about it eh?

Sea Foam

This is a natural process occurring in especially big seas, where plankton and other small sea organisms are literally pulverised against the rocks of the shoreline, resulting in a very fine protein suspension in the sea which coats the air-bubbles created by the waves to create a stiff froth, just the same way as egg protein coats air bubbles to make meringue, and beer protein coats air bubbles to produce a head of foam in a beer glass. from viv.id.au/blog/20070827.871/sea-foam/

Snapper - Pagrus auratus (Forster, 1801) [more of this species]

 

Very similar to the Red Seabream (P. major) of the northern pacific. This species occurs south of the tropics. The are slight differences in the bump of the head, otherwise almost identical.

 

They can be identified by pinkish body with blue spots on the upper part of the body. The bottom most parts of the caudal, anal and ventral fins are white, the rest of those fins are transparent.
