Netuma bilineata

Netuma bilineata (n= 24) (Fig. 6, Supplementary data 7) Like H. sagor, the curvature of most of the otoliths’ margin making them appear circular. Although, the outermost part of their mesial margin is quite irregular, especially along the postero-mesial margin. Some of them (n= 8) have prominent Md, which causes a sharp slant that makes them appear “swollen” at the postero-mesial margin. They have prominent Amp and the majority of them (n= 19) bear tubular straight Sl, while the remaining ones (n= 5) have compact straight Sl. They have prominent mesial notch and their ILb is shallow.
