The presence and the distribution of two cryptic sedentary gobies, Pomatoschistus microps and Pomatoschistus marmoratus, were investigated in several lagoons stretching along the Golfe du Lion, southern France Mediterranean coast, and Corsica. Pomatoschistus

The marbled goby Pomatoschistus marmoratus, a species inhabiting coastal Mediterranean lagoons, has been studied by measuring its mitochondrial DNA variation. This analysis revealed a Mediterranean west vs east split and, subsequently, an eastern differentiation

Breeding and rearing the offspring through successive generations are mandatory in order to study evolutionary responses to anthropogenic impact in marine organisms. However, fish offer a limited number of marine model species that allow performing multigenerational

The first confirmed record of Pomatoschistus marmoratus (Risso, 1810) is reported from Malta. The gobiid species richness of Malta and the geographic distribution of this species are discussed. Underwater photographs of presumed specimens of Pomatoschistus

The family Gobiidae constitutes one of the most diverse groups among teleost fish; some of its species are objects of aquaculture and fisheries. Despite many years of cytogenetic studies, the chromosome complements of many species of gobies remain unknown,
