Otolithes ruber, commonly known as the tigertooth croaker, silver teraglin, wiretooth, snapper kob, snapper salmon, Yankee whiting or Yankee salmon is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sciaenidae, the drums and croakers.

Otolithes ruber was first formally described in 1801 as Johnius ruber by the German naturalists Marcus Elieser Bloch and Johann Gottlob Theaenus Schneider with the "Indian Ocean" given as its type locality.

[7] It occurs at depths between 3 and 100 m (9.8 and 328.1 ft) in brackish and marine waters over sand, mud and rock substrates.

[1] Otolithes ruber feed on planktonic crustaceans near the surface as juveniles and as adults they prey on benthic invertebrates and fishes.

[1] Otolithes ruber is caught in mixed species fisheries and as bycatch throughout its range.
