The gudgeon relatives (Gobionidae) are a family of carp-like (Cypriniformes). They live with over 200 species in China , Japan and Korea , the genus Gobio also in North Asia and Europe. Gudgeon relatives prefer to stay in the lower and middle water layers.
features
The gudgeon relatives are small to medium-sized freshwater fish . They differ from the other subfamilies of carp fish in the shape of the frontal bone and the supraoccipital, another cranial bone, as well as in characteristic formations on the front vertebrae , which in some genera of the gudgeon relatives form ossified swim bladder capsules. The first three rays of the dorsal fin are always undivided and never severely ossified. The lateral line organ runs, if it is not reduced, on the middle of the caudal stalk. Gudgeon relatives have one or two rows of fangs . The tip of the snout never has barbels .

Systematics
The gudgeon relatives were introduced as a taxon in 1863 by the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker . For a long time they were considered a subfamily (Gobioninae) of the carp fish (Cyprinidae). Stout and colleagues raised all subfamilies of the Cyprinidae to family status in 2016. The scientific fish database Catalog of Fishes took over this and now manages the gudgeon relatives as well as the other former subfamilies of the Cyprinidae as independent families.
