The red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) is a marine fish which naturally ranges from Central Mexico on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico to Massachusetts in the Atlantic Ocean. Red drum have been taken in small numbers by commercial fishermen on the Atlantic Coast for many years, but it has been an important species only on the Gulf Coast. In Texas it has comprised as much as 35 percent of the commercial fish landings in the past.
