Extract

The common goby, Pomatoschistus microps (Krøyer), is a small, euryhaline gobiid fish which ranges along the coasts of continental Europe from the Mediterranean to Trondheim, Norway, and also penetrates into the Baltic Sea (Miller, 1973). This species, which can be very abundant, is generally distributed in estuaries, salt marsh and shore pools (Wheeler, 1969; Miller, 1971) and experiences a higher degree of environmental heterogeneity than most of the other European gobiids (Wallis & Beardmore, 1984a).
