Early development of the red mouthed goby, Gobius cruentatus (Pisces: Gobiidae)

Helminths of three species of goby (Pisces: Gobiidae) from Mission Bay, San Diego.

Sound production mechanism in Gobius paganellus (Gobiidae).

Gobiidae, the largest fish family (>1500 species), has species from at least 10 genera that produce sounds for communication. Studies focused on goby sound production mechanisms have suggested that sounds are produced by the forcible ejection of water through small apertures in the opercles (hydrodynamic mechanism). The present study was a multidisciplinary investigation (morphology, muscle his...

Insect Introductions and Diet Changes in an Endemic Hawaiian Amphidromous Goby, Awaous stamineus (Pisces: Gobiidae)l

Data are presented from gut content analysis of 94 Awaous stamineus (Edouyx & Souleyet) ('o'opu niikea) collected from the Wainiha River on the north shore of the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i during the period from June 1990 to May 1991. Also presented are results from gut analysis of 11 preserved museum specimens captured in Lii'iemalo'o stream, O'ahu, in February 1938 and June 1939. The results ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of the amphidromous, red-tailed goby Sicyopterus lagocephalus (Pallas) (Teleostei, Gobiidae).

In this article, the complete mitogenome of the amphidromous, red-tailed goby, Sicyopterus lagocephalus has been amplified and sequenced by long polymerase chain reaction. This mitochondrial genome consists of 16,500 bp, with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a non-coding control region (CR), and its gene arrangement is identical to those of most vertebr...

A cytogenetical study on Economidichthys pygmaeus Holly, 1929 (Pisces, Gobiidae), an endemic freshwater goby from Western Greece

A cytogenetic study was carried out on the chromosomes and the nuclear DNA content of the freshwater goby Economidichthys pygmaeus (Pisces, Gobiidae). The species is characterized by a 2n=46 karyotype consisting of 12 submetacentric and 11 subtelocentric chromosome pairs (NF=70). Major (45S) rDNA genes are terminal-centromeric located on the short arm of a single medium-small sized submetacentr...
