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

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

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 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

A b s t r a c t . The reproductive biology of the marbled goby, Pomatoschistus marmoratus (Risso, 1810), was studied in the Strymon River estuarine system (northern Greece) between September 1997 and August 1999. Samplings were conducted on a monthly
