Common snook are protandric hermaphrodites.

The von Bertalanffy growth models were significantly different (P 0.001) for each coast and suggested that east coast snook grow faster than west coast snook. Common snook can live to 21 years, but most of the fish in our sample were from 1 to 7 years old. Results from the return of 80 oxytetracycline-marked otoliths combined with analyses of monthly patterns in marginal increments and the percentage of otoliths with an annulus on the edge, demonstrated that a single annulus is formed each year. Age of common snook was determined from sectioned otoliths. East coast fish were larger overall than west coast fish. Of fish that were sexed, females ranged in length from 397 to 1105 mm FL, and males ranged from 124 to 925 mm FL.
