Wenchman SnapperSun, Dec 17, 2023 11:50 AM
Wenchman is a snapper found from North Carolina to Florida, including the Gulf of Mexico, extending down to the Caribbean Sea and Brazil. This fish is a reddish to pinkish color on the top and sides and a pinkish to silvery color below. The fins are mostly semi-transparent with a light pink to red color, except for the yellow outer edges of the dorsal and tail fin. Wenchman has large eyes compared to its body size because of the depths this fish typically inhabits has very little sunlight. Most species are caught in greater than 100 fathoms (600 feet). Within its range, wenchman prefers to reside in deeper water over hard bottom habitats, including reefs.
The Wenchman Snapper has a maximum observed age of 14 years, can grow up to almost 2 feet in length, and can weight over 4 pounds. It also reaches sexual maturity at 2 years of age.
