Info
Although this perch was first described as early as 1860, certain basic information, such as environmental conditions, nevertheless does not seem to be fully clarified.
While FishBase speaks of seawater and brackish water areas with salinity between 3 and 31.5 ppt as habitat, other sources cite primarily freshwater conditions, such as rivers, as occurrences,
According to these sources, salinity levels such as those found in the sea are not suitable for Stegastes otophorus.
In any case, there is still a need for clarification here.
Adult perches are dark grayish brown, the trailing edges of the soft dorsal and anal fins and the caudal fin are broad orange-yellow, the pectoral fins are yellowish.
Juveniles are dark brown with dotted blue lines on the head running backward along the top of the body, an indistinct elongated black spot can be seen at the rear corner of the dorsal fin.
The soft dorsal and anal fins, the caudal fin and the posterior part of the base of the tail are yellow.
