Red Throat Emperor (Lethrinus chrysostomus) Photographs and Information



Red Throat Emperors are also known as northwest snapper, sweetlip emperor (WA); lipper, sweetlip, tricky snapper, trout, trumpeter

Red-Throat Emperors are reddish orange around their eyes with a red patch at the base of the pectoral fin, and a bright red dorsal fin.

Red Throat Emperors are protogynous hermaphrodites, that is they function first as females and then as males.  Their eggs are pelagic and they range from 0.6mm to 0.9mm in diameter.  Juvenile red-throat emperors 2-3cm long have been collected from shallow, shoreline seagrass beds near Townsville in November.  Juvenile emperors appear to live in shallow, inshore waters such as seagrass and mangrove areas, the fish moving into deeper water as they age.

One year old Red Throat Emperors are about 25cm fork length.  At 2 years of age they average 30cm fork length, 38cm by 4 years and 41cm by 6 years.  Red Throat Emperors are mature at 31-35 cm standard length.

Red Throat Emperors are caught by handlines, rod-and-line, traps and demersal otter trawling - mainly stern trawling but also semi-pelagic trawling in the Northern Territory.
