Description Otolithes ruber is widespread in the Indo-West Pacific from South Africa, to India and the South China
Sea and Australia. Records from the Western Indian Ocean may refer to a new, undescribed species.
Otolithes ruber is considered common throughout much of its range. It is taken in mixed-species
fisheries in many areas. There are localized reports of overfishing in some areas but the fisheries are not thought to be causing global population declines at this time that meet the criteria for a threatened
category. Therefore, this species is listed as Least Concern. Further research on the taxonomy of this
species is needed.
