Etymology: Parablennius: Greek, para = the side of + Greek, blennios = mucus (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Demetrius Zvonimir (d: 1089) was King of Croatia and Dalmatia. The blenny was first identified from the Dalmatian coast. However, as the original text does not give an etymology, this remains a ‘best guess’ identification. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults inhabit dimly lit biotopes like overhanging rocks or caves. Also found in piddock holes. They graze on periphyton (Ref. 5981). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturité | Reproduction | Frai | Œufs | Fécondité | Larves
Oviparous, distinct pairing (Ref. 205). Female deposit eggs inside an empty mussel, male tends the clutch (Ref. 47356). Courtship behavior entails males rearing up front of body (Ref. 5981). Yawning makes for a defense to drive away rivals (Ref. 5981).
