One large adult but eroded specimen (LO=10.17, HO=5.01) and two well conserved juvenile specimens (OL:OH= 1.38–1.40) match well with otoliths of the genus Coelorinchus . The specimens resemble otoliths of the Atlantic Coelorinchus caelorhincus (Risso, 1810) and Coelorinchus australis from New Zealand and South Australia. They fit in the growth curve of C. australis in a comparison of several Coelorinchus species around New Zealand ( Schwarzhans, 1980). Notwithstanding, the complexity of this genus requires more adult material for definitive species identification.
