Pomadasys maculatus ( Bloch, 1793)

(no. 14 in pl. 1)

Material examined. — 1 sagitta (SG 0275-6).

Dimensions. — OL, 6.14 mm; OH, 5.11 mm; OT, 1.54 mm.

Remarks. — The ventral margin was slightly crenate and most of the features along the margin were probably lost through erosion. The most anterior portion of the otolith was lost. Regardless of the incompleteness, the deep otolith shape and sharp turning of the caudal flexion revealed the characters of P. maculatus .
