Show abstract
We conducted a visual and photographic survey of the gobiidae in the Bolinao area of the Philipines, located on the western tip of the Lingayen gulf, on the west coast of Luzon island. We identified a total of 40 species, of which 18 are shrimp-associated. One species found (Myersina lachneri) constitutes a range expansion into the Philippines. This number of species is in the expected range compared to other studies of marine goby faunae in the coral triangle, despite the significant anthropogenic pressures onto the marine ecosystem in the surveyed area.
