Abstract
A comparative morphological investigation of otoliths from six parrotfish species and two genera, Scarus and Hipposcarus, was conducted to identify taxonomically diagnostic species-specific characters. Ontogenetic trends in otolith morphology were evident: Otoliths of small-sized specimens were most like those of large-sized Scarus oviceps and were least similar to large-sized Hipposcarus longiceps.
