The total number of common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) present in the world cannot be determined or known. However, 12 distinct species of snook are known in total which live in the temperate waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The definite number of common snook present in the world cannot be made, but it is believed that there are millions of them since one common snook female gives birth to more than one million young snooks. But overtime, several coastal areas of the world have observed a decline in the population of the common snook.
