Description:In this study, the authors describe a process that consistently identified sex based on differences in the length and characteristics of the urogenital papilla septum of Etelis carbunculus , a deep-water snapper (Lutjanidae, Etelinae). These characteristics, regardless of fish size, were found to be accurate for 96% of 157 specimens evalu- ated .The application of this external sex determination technique expedites the col- lection of sex-specific data and may perform well for other morphologically similar
