Etymology: Bathygobius: Greek, bathys = deep + Latin, gobius = gudgeon (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Jenyns.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; demersal. Tropical
Eastern Central Pacific: from Galapagos (B. lineatus lineatus), Clipperton Is. (as B. lineatus arundelli), and Lobos de Afuera, small islands about 40 mi off northern Peru (B. lineatus lupinus).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm TL (female)
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. Pectoral rays 19-21; uppermost five rays more or less free from membrane, first to fourth branching only once; pelvic disc elliptical, reaching at least four-fifths to part of fin pale; second dorsal fin with dark and pale bands; anal fin dusky, with with dark line proximal to white distal edge; caudal fin with dark markings more or less defined (Ref. 87607).
Collected from intertidal rock-pools, where this species is said to dominate the shallow tidepool habitat (Ref. 87607).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 20.2 - 29.1, mean 25.4 °C (based on 234 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
