Remarks Te otoliths of the studied specimens show a distinctive tall shape and thick posterior margin as depicted in Lin et al (2017: Fig. 4C–E View Fig ). However, identifying them below the genus level may pose challenges due to overlapping interspecific variations and the absence of comprehensive modern otolith reference material. Nevertheless, within our collection, at least two types of otoliths with varying heights were observed ( Fig. 4f View Fig with OL/OH> 0.7 vs Fig. 4g View Fig with OL/OH <0.6), suggesting the presence of two distinct taxa.
