  • The morphological characteristics of a larval fish (7.8 mm in body length) collected off Chuuk, Micronesia were highly similar to those of larval Omosudis sp., except fin development and body length. It was identified as Omosudis lowii by partial mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene analysis. The morphological traits of the larval fish validated by the molecular genetic marker will be informative for species-level identification of larval Omosudis lowii.
