Hyperostotic conditions are described in three teleost fishes. Pomadasys stridens , (Haemulidae; 326 mm TL, 314 mm SL), Drepane longimana (Drepanidae; 450 mm, TL, 440 mm SL), and Platax teira (Ephippidae) captured off the coast of Muscat City. There are regions of hyperostosis in four bones in P. stridens , three in D. longimana and seven in P. teira . Size, shape, position, and species‐specific characteristics showed wide variation in these three species. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
