20210719 12275200 1.0 TRUE Hogfish, or sometimes “hog snapper,” are actually a member of the wrasse family (Labridae). They boast bright orange, yellow, and blueish-purple colorations. Hogfish get their name from their elongated snout, which they use to root for crustaceans buried in the sediment. Their tail is moon-shaped. Males have a characteristic black spot behind their pectoral fins. Three stocks of hogfish are found in the southeastern US: the Gulf of Mexico stock, the Florida Keys/East Florida stock, and the Georgia to North Carolina stock. The Gulf stock occupies the west Florida continental shelf south to about Cape Sable (SEDAR 37, 2014).
