Grundeln
(Gobioiden) - Barschartige Fische aus der Unterordnung
der Gobioidei (Grundelänlichen) mit 2000 Arten und 500 nominellen
Gattungen. Wegen ihrer vielfältigen Anpassungserscheinungen
eine bemerkenswerte Gruppierung. Grundeln bewohnen in der Mehrzahl
die Küstenzonen und flachen Meeresgebiete. Viele Arten sind
dem Salzgehalt des Wassers gegenüber tolerant und das macht
es möglich daß sie die Flußmündungen und brackwasserhaltigen
Lagunen bewohnen können.
Sound
production in Gobies - Università degli
Studi di Pavia. In teleosteans more than 50 families include
sound producing species. In the family Gobiidae several species
have been studied in regard to their sound producing abilities.
To date, five species of the Italian gobiid fauna are known
to produce sounds: Padogobius martensii, Gobius nigricans
and Knipowitschia punctatissima are three endemic
freshwater species; Zosterisessor ophiocephalus and
Gobius jozo (=niger) are predominantly marine species.
Research on these species is undertaken in collaboration with
the University of Parma (Dept. of Biology and General Physiology)
and the University of Venice (Dept. of Environmental Sciences).

- The American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists
is dedicated to the scientific study of fishes, amphibians and
reptiles. The primary emphases of the Society are to increase
knowledge about these organisms, to disseminate that knowledge
through publications, conferences, symposia, and other means,
and to encourage and support young scientists who will make
future advances in these fields. The programs of the American
Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists are part of a global
effort to interpret, understand, and conserve the Earth's natural
diversity and to contribute to the wise use of natural resources
for the long-term benefit of humankind.
