Gobiosoma Bosc
''Gobiosoma bosc'' (naked goby) is a fish named for its lack of scales. This is a true goby; it is part of the genus '' Gobiosoma''. Description The naked goby is usually less than 2 inches in length and lacks scales. The pelvic fins of the naked goby are linked together by a membrane, fitting the purpose of a sucker-like disk. The fin also reaches a point between the base and the anus. It ranges in color from a pale yellow to a murky brown, and is variably marked along its body. Distribution and habitat Generally, naked gobies live in estuaries and coastal waters. It is noted that naked gobies may bury themselves in bottom sediments in the winter. The naked goby is found in the Western Atlantic from Connecticut to Mexico. It lives almost exclusively in habitats with brackish water. Younger members of the species are commonly found in estuaries south of New Jersey and only sporadically in estuaries north of New Jersey. Reproduction They tend to reproduce from May to Novemb ...

Gobiosoma Ginsburgi
The seaboard goby (''Gobiosoma ginsburgi'') is a species of fish belonging to the family Gobiidae. Description The seaboard goby has a long pelvic disk that reaches most of the distance of the pelvic fin to the ventral fin. It has 12 dorsal rays modally. It can be colored from a pale, translucent shade to a darker brown. Distribution and habitat The seaboard goby occurs on the Atlantic Coast of the United States, ranging north from Massachusetts to Georgia, being recorded most frequently from New Jersey to the southern end of its range. Although it has been recorded to be found up to depths of 45m, it is more commonly found in the depth range of 2–9 m deep. Reproduction and Development Spawning for the seaboard goby occurs during the summer season beginning at age 1 in the southern portions of its range, and progressively continues northward as the season goes on. Eggs and hatching size have not been observed. Name The specific name honors the American ichthyologist and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
