Remarks Te otoliths of Myersina filifer exhibit distinct characteristics that allow for their easy identification. Tey are characterized by their tall and high-bodied outline (OL/OH = 0.76–0.86), which sets them apart from other gobiids. Additionally, the otoliths typically feature crenulated dorsal rims, concave anterior and posterior rims, and a centrally located sulcus (Lin & Chang, 2012: pl. 125). Te antero-ventral corner of the otoliths shows variation in shape, which can be either rounded or, less frequently, angular.
