The shield fish (Gobiesocidae), also called shield bellies or suckers , are a family from the group of perch relatives (Percomorphaceae). They are closest to the mucus Fishy related (Blenniiformes). The approximately 160 species in almost 50 genera live in temperate, subtropical and tropical seas, a few also in freshwater and brackish water .
features
They are goby-like , highly specialized animals. The pelvic fins have grown together to form a suction disk with which the fish can hold on to the ground. The skin has no scales but a thick layer of mucus. A swim bladder is missing. Mention should also be made of the genital papilla of the males and the absence of the basi- and orbitosphenoid in the skull. Half or all of the gills on the fourth arch are missing.
Most of the fish are only about five centimeters long, some only 2-3 centimeters, the largest species ( chorisochism dentex ) can be 30 centimeters long. The species of the genus Alabes (subfamily Cheilobranchinae) are eel ("coastal eels") or actually (because of their small size) worm-shaped, their sucker is small or has disappeared.
Way of life
Tortoiseshell fish mostly inhabit shallow waters with a rocky bottom and algae growth or live in seagrass meadows. Only a few species are found in coral reefs . Some species also live in symbiosis with invertebrates , such as the hair star shield belly ( Discotrema crinophila ) and the sea urchin shield belly ( Diademichthys lineatus ). In the case of the sea urchin shield belly, which lives between the spines of diadem sea urchins ( Diadema sp. ), However, it has been found that it eats the sea urchin's feet . So it is more likely to be parasitism .
