Red snapper, particularly Lutjanus campechanus, is a species of fish found in the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, known for its reddish color and popularity in cooking. They inhabit deep waters and primarily feed on smaller fish and invertebrates. Due to overfishing, conservation efforts are in place to support sustainable fishing practices.
