Species Information

Scientific Name: Centropomus undecimalis

Average Size: There is very little known about the Roosterfish's life span. Anglers have caught these fish over four feet long and weighing 100 pounds.

Location & Habitat: The Common Snook are the most widely distributed species within the Centropomus genus and have been reported as far north as New York and throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Snook are abundant along the Atlantic coast of Florida from Cape Canaveral south through the Keys and Dry Tortugas, and north to Cedar Key on the gulf coast. snook occur infrequently along the coast of Texas to Galveston and then more or less continuously south to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 

Juvenile snook are generally restricted to the protection of riverine and estuary environments. These environments offer shallow water and an overhanging vegetative shoreline. Juvenile common snook can survive in waters with lower oxygen levels than adults. Adult common snook inhabit many environments including mangrove forests, beaches, river mouths, nearshore reefs, salt marshes and sea grass meadows.

Adult common snook appear to be less sensitive to cold water temperatures than larvae or small juveniles. The lower lethal limit of water temperature is 48.2°-57.2° F for juveniles and 42.8°-53.6° F for adults.

Description: Snook have a slender body and a distinct lateral line. The dorsal fins are high and divided and the anal spines are relatively short. Snooks have a sloping forehead with a large mouth and a protruding lower jaw. Adult snook can grow to over 47.24 inches in total length, which is larger than any other species in this family. Coloration of the common snook is golden yellow with a distinct black lateral line and pale yellow pelvic fins. Snooks lack teeth on the maxillae. There is a band of fine teeth located on the premaillae and the dentaries. The palatine bone has a narrow band of teeth on it and the ectopterygoid bone located behind the palate may or may not have a tooth patch associated with it.

Snook on the Atlantic coast of Florida commonly grow to larger sizes than common snook on the gulf coast of Florida. The largest observed sizes for females on the Atlantic and gulf coasts are 43.5 inches and 40.6 inches.
