Remarks. This is a very common species collected by bottom trawl from shallow to deep waters around Taiwan. In our examination of numerous specimens, we noted that the number of tooth rows changes with growth. There is usually a single row of teeth on both maxilla and dentary in specimens less than 300 mm TL, becoming biserial in specimens larger than 300 mm TL and triserial in specimens larger than 600 mm TL. Several authors have recognized O. tsuchidae from Taiwan, which is a junior synonym of O. urolophus .
