Teleostei (teleosts) > Gobiiformes (Gobies) > Gobiidae (Gobies) > Gobiinae
Etymology: Eviota: No etymology given, suggested by Christopher Scharpt: from Latin 'eu' for 'true' and 'iota' for anything very small, in combination 'truly very small' referring to it as being the smallest vertebrate at the time it has benn described by Jenkins (thus, making the suggestion by Scharpt plausible; hoesei: Named for Douglass F. Hoese, in recognition of his important contributions to the systematics of gobioid fishes.
Eponymy: Dr Douglass Fielding ‘Doug’ Hoese (d: 1942) is Senior Fellow, Ichthyology Collection, Australian Museum, Sydney. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 26. This species is distinct from its congeners by the following characters: D VI + I, 9; A I, 8 (usually); some pectoral-fin rays are branched; cephalic sensory-pore system pattern 2; 2 diffuse to prominent dark spots at the base of pectoral fin; fifth segmented pelvic-fin ray present, usually about 1/10 length of fourth ray; and 6 subcutaneous bars/spots on lower postanal trunk (Ref. 59013).

Collected from tidepools and rock and coral reefs in lagoons and reef slopes (Ref. 59013).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.1 - 26.2, mean 25.1 °C (based on 201 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.3 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.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 298 [101, 1,073] mg/100g; Iron = 1.96 [0.76, 4.75] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.5, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.252 [0.076, 0.862] g/100g; Selenium = 15.5 [3.9, 49.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 66.1 [10.6, 397.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.36 [1.62, 6.13] mg/100g (wet weight);
