The Biology of Gobies

By B. Kapoor, James L. Van Tassell, Marcelo Kovacic

A collaboration of over 30 experts, The Biology of Gobies summarizes the systematics, ecology, zoogeography, and general biology of Gobiiformes. It discusses the astounding diversity of gobies, the largest family of marine fishes, examining the more than 200 genera and 2000 species. It highlights their morphology and adaptability, which allows them to live in numerous ecological niches and lends them favorably to laboratory and field study, and looks at the structural and behavioral reproductive diversity of gobies ranging from gonochoric to hermaphrodite, and monogamous to polygamous, and even promiscuous.
