Within the population of Maurolicus otoliths, seven encountered specimens have a similar general shape (OL:OH=1.13–1.42; 1.13), rostrum and sulcus as Maurolicus cf. muelleri , but differ from that species by a rounded and smooth posterior rim, a rounded ventral rim with small anterio- and mid-ventral lobules and the absence of the prominent flag-like extension that ornaments the ventral angle in Maurolicus cf. muelleri specimens. Lobes along the rims are broad and flattened; they are only present in the anterior 2/3 part of the ventral rim. These characteristics do not fully match with the specimens of M. muelleri that have been depicted from various locations. Probably the otoliths represent another species. As many Maurolicus species exist of which the otoliths are not known yet, we have indicated the specimens as Maurolicus sp..
