The otolith morphology of 10 species belonging to the Carangidae family collected from the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea (coast of Iran). Were examined separately and the characteristics were drawn. The morphomttric parameters determined were total length (TL, mm), weight (W, gr), otolith length (OL, mm), weight of right otolith(WRO, mm), weight of left otolith(WLO, mm), height of right otolith (HRO, mm), height of left otolith (HLO, mm),. The values obtained from measurements are given in the 90% confidence interval in most spesies. The observation of this family three shape of sagittal, Sagitiform, Fusiform and Lanceolated. As a result of this analysis, it is possible to identify the species from the Carangidae family by the otolith characters. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol8no2/comparative-morphology-of-the-otolith/ Otolith; Morphology; Sagitta; Carangidae; Persian Gulf; Oman Sea
