Another song to help identify different species of snapper…<\/p>\n

“We Love Our Snappers!”<\/p>\n

(To be sung to the tune of “Can’t take my eyes off you”)<\/p>\n

When you are learning your fish,
\nCan’t give your snappers a miss,
\nContinuous dorsal fin,
\nOften higher where they begin,
\nWith slightly upturned snouts,
\nAnd downturned mouths
\nThis makes them look quite sad,
\nBut they\u2019ve teeth that make them look bad<\/p>\n

The Bluelined has four lines,\"\"<\/a>
\nA yellow body that’s streamlined,
\nBut don’t get too bemused,
\nThe Bluestripe’s easy to confuse,
\nCount the lines; Stripey’s got six,
\nSo don’t get in a fix<\/p>\n

Now we don’t have far to go,
\nThere are only seven to know,
\nBluelined, Bluestriped, Black and it’s juvenile Twinspot, one spot, black spot and big eye, Bluelined, Bluestriped, Black and Big Eye, Twin, One and Black Spoooooooot!<\/p>\n

We know our snappers,
\nBecause they’re medium sized,\"\"<\/a>
\nWe know our snappers
\nThey are nektonic guys<\/p>\n

We know our snappers,
\nAnd their emarginate tails
\nWe know our snappers,
\nWith their continuous fin,<\/p>\n

We know our snappers
\nThey eat other fish,
\nThey are oblong fishes with triangular heads…<\/p>\n

Silver, reddish or yellow,
\nThe One Spot’s a lonely fellow,
\nTwin Spot has two light spots,
\nLocated near to his top,
\nBrowney yellow in colour,
\nHe’s a little bit duller,
\nAs is his brother the black,\"\"<\/a>
\nBut the juvenile’s all that,<\/p>\n

Silver with yellow brown stripe,
\nThe Big Eye is a nice type,
\nOf fish to have for tea,
\nAs is the whole family,
\nThe blackspot has just one spot,
\nAnd a yellowey bot,
\nHe also has stripes,
\nAnd hunts in the night,
\nBluelined, Bluestriped, Black and it’s juvenile Twinspot, one spot, black spot and big eye Bluelined, Bluestriped, Black and Big Eye, Twin, One and Black Spoooooooot!<\/p>\n

We love our snappers,
\nAnd if it’s quite alright,
\nWe’ll eat our snappers,
\nFor dinner every night,
\nWe thank our snappers,
\nFor be-ing just so yum-my!<\/p>\n
