 throughout the Hawaiian Island chain and doubtless extends into adjoining

Snapper 



90-8 Apharet/s furcatus (Lacepede) 



Drown from Jordan & Evermann 



This snapper is of a dirty violet-blue-gray color above and changes 

 to silvery on the lower surface. It reaches a length of fifteen inches. The 

 flesh of the fish is soft and of good flavor, but unfortunately the fish is 

 not common about the Hawaiian Islands. 



This snapper is distributed from Micronesia through Polyensia to the 

 Hawaiian Islands.
