Etymology: Gobiomorphus: Latin, gobius = gudgeon + Greek, morphe = shape (Ref. 45335); mataraerore: Name 'mataraerore' from the Maori words 'mata' and 'rae', meaning 'face' and 'forehead', and 'rore' from type locality traditional name 'Kaharore', in reference to the distinctive facial expression of Gobiomorphus fishes. A noun in apposition.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00323 - 0.01701), b=3.13 (2.94 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.2 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.).
