A tapered snout, underslung lower jaw, large fins and a jet-black stripe on the lateral line makes any Snook easy to pick out of a fishy lineup. But the differences between this large species and the three smaller ones to follow are a bit more subtle. The adult Common Snook can be identified by size alone, although confusion arises when comparing juveniles against adults of the other kinds. Color of the dorsal surface is usually dark, often black. Sides are silvery in sea-run fish. The fins are yellow.
