Figure 16j View Fig Remarks Two juvenile otoliths are reasonably assigned to Upeneus based on the sulcus. Te presence of a triangular ostium, which opens widely towards the anterior, and a cauda with a long straight part and a downward-bent posterior tip forming a deep expansion are indicative of Upeneus otoliths (Lin & Chang, 2012: pl. 111). However, the expansion of the caudal tip (bulb) is difficult to see clearly because of preservation.
