Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 4 - 5; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 4 - 6; Σπόνδυλοι: 38 - 39. This species is distinguished from Barryichthys algicolaby having a shorter, deeper body (body depth at dorsal-fin origin 10-11% SL vs. 7-8% SL); wider, deeper head (head width at widest point 66-75% HL vs. 55-61%; depth at orbit 30-32% HL vs. 27-29%; interorbital width 27-33% HL vs. 20-24%); the ventral margin of orbit obscured by cheek in ventral view (vs. entire ventral margin of orbit visible in ventral view); shorter abdominal region with fewer vertebrae (17 vs. 21); with fewer ribs (11-12 vs. 15), epicentrals (14-15 vs. 18-19) and total vertebrae ( 38-39 vs. 42-44). Live colour pattern, including body background golden-yellow to olive-brown, a variable number of irregularly shaped light to dark brown markings along dorsal midline, presence of a series of light to dark brown elongate lateral markings
forming an incomplete or complete horizontal stripe (Ref. 120657).
This species was collected from dense mats of macroalgae attached to rocky substrate in water up to 1 meter depth. A female specimen (1.42 cm SL) contained ca. 20 mature eggs (ca. 10 within each ovary) of ca. 0.3-0.@ mm diameter. The largest eggs in each ovary exhibited a dark orange cap that may represent an 'attachment apparatus' at the animal pole as described from the eggs of three species of European gobiesocid (Ref. 120657).
