One large adult but eroded specimen (LO=10.17, HO=5.01) and two well conserved juvenile specimens (OL:OH= 1.38–1.40) match well with otoliths of the genus
Coelorinchus
. The specimens resemble otoliths of the Atlantic
Coelorinchus caelorhincus
(Risso, 1810)
and
Coelorinchus australis
from
New Zealand
and South Australia. They fit in the growth curve of
C. australis
in a comparison of several
Coelorinchus
species around
New Zealand
(
Schwarzhans, 1980
). Notwithstanding, the complexity of this genus requires more adult material for definitive species identification.
