Reexamination of the status of the striped goby

Native and Alien Fishes in a California Estuarine Marsh: Twenty-One Years of Changing Assemblages

“…The habitat within duck ponds is likely conducive to threespine stickleback spawning, and our exceptionally large catches corresponded closely with the seasonal patterns of duck pond draining (S. Chappell, Suisun Resources Conservation District, personal communication). Denverton Slough was distinguished by large numbers of shimofuri goby, a species known to prefer hard substrates (Akihito and Sakamoto 1989;Matern 1999), which are absent from most sloughs. In contrast, yellowfin gobies are burrowers that require soft substrate (Dotu and Mito 1955); they were rare in the rocky habitat of Denverton Slough but abundant elsewhere in the marsh.…”

Expansion of the Non-native Mississippi Silverside,Menidia audens(Pisces, Atherinopsidae), into Fresh and Marine Waters of Coastal Southern California

“…The initial putative spread of Chameleon Goby, Tridentiger trigonocephalus, into the low salinity Delta region of San Francisco Bay was due to the arrival and spread of a second, very similar brackish water species, the Shimofuri Goby, Tridentiger bifasicatus (Matern and Fleming 1995), described in Japan by Akihito and Sakamoto (1989). Markle and Simon (1997) found that Fathead Minnows in Klamath Lakes (Oregon-California border) were morphologically the northern subspecies, Pimephales promelas promelas, a form utilized for water testing, rather than the commonly cultured bait fish, P. p. confertus, the southern subspecies, introduced into the southwestern United States from Texas (Dill and Cordone 1997).…”

<span>Molecular-genetic identification of chameleon goby Tridentiger trigonocephalus (Gill, 1859) in the Black Sea</span>

“…Chameleon goby -Tridentiger trigonocephalus (Gill, 1859) is a typical inhabitant of the coasts, estuaries and lower reaches of the rivers of the basins of the Sea of Japan, the Yellow, East China, South China Seas and the adjacent areas of the Pacific Ocean in the areas of the coastal territories of Russia, Korea, Japan and Philippines (Berg 1949;Pinchyk 1978;Courtenay et al 1986;Akihito & Sakamoto 1989;Meng et al 1994;Annotirovanny catalog…, 1998). This species belongs to the category of small euryhaline fishes which can live both in marine and saline waters (up to fresh water), often inhabits mussel and oyster plantations.…”

“…This thesis statement about aquarium husbandry is confirmed by the fact that since the late 1980s, simultaneous expansion has been observed in the distribution of three species of tripletooth gobies Tridentiger trigonocephalus (Gill, 1859), Tridentiger barbatus (Günther, 1861 and Tridentiger bifasciatus (Steindachner, 1881). At the same time, Tridentiger bifasciatus was often considered a synonymous species with Tridentiger trigonocephalus (Berg 1949;Pinchyk 1978;Akihito & Sakamoto 1989), their status as separate species was recognized only in the mid 1990s (Matern & Fleming 1995). Mass distribution around the world of the representatives of Tridentiger genus began in the mid 1980s and is due to the global warming, intensification of marine transport communications and enhancement of mineralization of freshwater ecosystems (Molnar et al 2008).…”
