Hyperostotic bones observed in the first record specimen of spotted sicklefish,Drepane punctata(Linnaeus, 1788), from the Gulf of Oman

Abstract: This is the first confirmed record of a 430 mm TL spotted sicklefish, Drepane punctata (Linnaeus, 1758), in the Gulf of Oman collected in August 2021. Here, we describe a hyperostotic deformity in the head, maxilla and premaxilla, dorsal fin, caudal fin rays, and neural and haemal spines of some vertebrae. In the head, the occipital and supraoccipital crests were swollen. Also, we compare morphometric and meristic data with other specimens from other geographic regions. Novel hyperostosis characteristics found… Show more

“…Although some authors consider the condition pathological (Al Nahdi et al, 2016;Capasso, 2005;von den Driesch, 1994;Lima et al, 2002), most studies address hyperostosis as a nonpathological condition due to the high frequency with which it occurs in certain specimens (Aguilera et al, 2017;Al Abri et al, 2022;Bertullo & Traibel, 1955; Lima et al, 2002) and because elderly individuals are living with the condition (Matic-Skoko & Ferri, 2009;Olsen, 1971;Smith-Vaniz & Carpenter, 2007;Smith-Vaniz et al, 1995).
