Snapper Study Shows Many More Than Expected

A study to gauge the population of red snapper along the entire Gulf Coast indicates many more of the fish than previously estimated, Alabama Newscenter reports. The three-year-long The Great Red Snapper Count led by the Harte Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (and contributed to by the University of South Alabama and other universities) showed a snapper population exceeding 110 million – three times the number federal officials had estimated. Along the Alabama and Mississippi coasts, the number is at 10 million.
