Pictured here is a group of twinspot snappers (Lutjanus bohar) moments after the climax of an early morning spawning run.

Breaking from a much larger group comprising thousands of individuals, these fish rushed toward the surface from the inky depths, males in hot, frenzied pursuit of a fertile female. As the female fish released her eggs into the water, streams of milky white sperm gushed from the attending males.

At the apex, her supply of eggs spent, the female veered sharply downward, bringing the reproductive run to an abrupt conclusion. The fever of procreation dissipated, the fish head back toward the group.

One more thing that is interesting about this species is that though they generally appear red in color, these fish can exhibit a wide range of hues, particularly during the spawning period. The color for any given individual does not remain constant. I have seen everything from a dull, nondescript grey to green, orange, magenta and more. What the color changes mean, if anything, is a mystery, like so much else in the natural world.

Each print is chopped with my logo. Sizes listed are the dimensions of the printed image in inches (see FAQ for equivalent sizes in centimeters). There is an additional white border around the image to allow for framing. A complete list of image and paper sizes can be found in the FAQ.
