Family: Carangidae
Alepes vari
, 470, 465 mm TL, 462, 456 mm SL (Figures 6; Figure 7)
The specimen shown in Figure 7 has 3 hyperostosis in the neural spine of the 6
th
- 8
th
caudal vertebrae. The
hyperostotic bones have oval shape with 20 ×15 mm dimensions. No other hyperostotic bones were noticed and
no other morphological anomalies have seen too. The specimen in Figure 8 has hyperostosis in the neural and
hemal spines of the 6
th
- 10
th
caudal vertebrae with size ranging 20 ×12 mm to 30 ×20 mm. Those hyperostotic
bones on the 7
th
- 9
th
caudal vertebrae were the largest of the hyperostotic bones examined. No other bones
showed such anomalies and further deformities in the fish body were revealed.
