Remarks A small and triangular otolith displays characteristics consistent with the family Labridae . It has a distinctly elevated collum that separates the ostium and cauda, both of which are deeply incised. Tis sulcus type is typical of Labridae . Lin and Chang (2012) have provided otolith images of various genera and species of Labridae from Taiwan; however, it is important to note that the specimen appears to be from a juvenile individual and lacks specific features necessary for identification at the generic or specific level.
