The Gobionellinae are a
subfamily of fish which was formerly classified in the
familyGobiidae, the gobies, but the 5th Edition of Fishes of the World classifies the subfamily as part of the family
Oxudercidae.[1] Members of Gobionellinae mostly inhabit
estuarine and
freshwater habitats; the main exception is the genus Gnatholepis, which live with
corals in
marine environments.[2] The subfamily is distributed in tropical and temperate regions around the world with the exception of the northeastern
Atlantic Ocean, the
Mediterranean Sea, and the
Ponto-Caspian region. It includes around 370 species and 55 genera:[3] Wikipedia articles about genera list about 389 species.
