Identification Of Pomadasys Species (Pisces, Haemulidae) From An Archaeological Midden Site In Nankuanli East (Taiwan), Based On Otolith Morphology Author Lin, Chien-Hsiang Author Li, Kuang-Ti Author Chang, Chih-Wei text Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 2013 2013-02-28 61 1 293 302 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.5351890 2345-7600 5351890 Pomadasys kaakan ( Cuvier, 1830 ) (no. 11–13 in pl. 1) Material examined . — 6 sagittae (SG 0253-3, 0270-1, 0270-3, 0272-1+0272-2, 0274-9, 0285-3). Dimensions . — OL, 5.76–7.91 mm ; OH, 4.03–5.72 mm ; OT, 1.34–2.06 mm ; OsL, 1.95–3.40 mm ; OsH, 0.98–1.49 mm . Remarks . — A comparison of the cauda shape revealed that these specimens were somewhat different from the rest. The cauda curved more gently unlike those from P. argenteus . Specimens SG 0272-1 and SG 0272-2 from a single archaeological spot were recognised as being from the same sagitta (no. 13 in pl. 1) that had broken in the middle. Specimens SG 0270-3, 0272-1+0272-2, 0274-9, 0285-3 have an excisural notch that point upwards, with acute angles and very shallow. Thus five sagittae out of the six specimens were recognised as belonging to P. kaakan .
