Description
The Popeye Catalufa, Pristigenys serrula, whose common Spanish name is Catalufa Semro, is a member of the Bigeye or Priacanthidae Family, known collectively as Catalufa in Mexico. They are named for their large eyes and are characterized by a strongly compressed, distinctively deep oval body with a width that is 49-53% of standard length and a large upturned mouth with a projecting lower jaw. The Popeye Catalufa is a uniform pink to crimson color with juveniles having faint dark bands on their sides; these fade rapidly soon after collection. The outer edges of their rounded caudal and pelvic fins are black. Their dorsal fin is continuous with ten spines. As their central spines are the longest, they are used as a key to identification. Their pelvic fins are long and are broadly attached by a membrane to the belly and positioned in advance of the pectoral fins. They have large scales.
