Distribution edit

I note there is another, old comment about this, but I definitely there is something wrong with the distribution information on this page. I'm not a biologist, but I have come across what appear to be respectable biological sites which describe this fish as local to the island of Madeira in the eastern Atlantic. I was looking because I was served what purported to be locally caught Red Snapper in a restaurant, and it does look like this fish as opposed to some of the other species sold elsewhere as Red Snapper.

Red Snappers are also found extensively in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.226.47.61 (talk) 12:16, 11 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

An equation edit

W = cL^b? Are we joking? We need artificially to impose this pseudo-scientific formalism? It is common sense that weight varies as the cube of length: assuming the fish grows proportionately, then a fish twice as long is also twice as high and twice as wide = eight times the volume. DUH.

I hate pretentious efforts to make things appear more grandiose than they rightfully are.

FYI, by the same rationale, if a six-footer in good shape weighs 170, then a seven-footer weighs 270.
