*O/P: Refering to the prominent scale rows rising above the lateral line. It's either O: Obliquely or it's P: Parallel.
*Spot: Refering to the prominent black spot on or just above the lateral line. There are a few species with the spot, so it is not confirmed to be a 'John's snapper' or 'fingermark' snapper whenever the fish have a black spot...
