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.; irrasa: From the Latin irrasa meaning unpolished or unshaved, in reference to the indiscrete nature of the pigmentation pattern of the head and trunk (Ref. 5289).

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 26. Characterized by the following: base of pectoral fin with two dark circular to oval spots, not sharply defined and often weakly connected, the upper spot somewhat larger than the lower; pectoral spots moderately pigmented, the intensity about equal to trunk bars; head (dorsally) and nape with dark, transverse, bars continuous over dorsal midline, and somewhat more heavily pigmented laterally; trunk with regular, dark, vertical bars, somewhat diffuse in outline, continuous over dorsal midline and usually not extending below midside anteriorly and much shorter posteriorly on peduncle; scale pockets dorsolaterally on trunk often weakly pigmented (Ref. 5289); characterized further by longitudinal scale series 24; ctenoid scales, absence on head, nape and base of pectoral fin; separated pelvic fins, only thin membrane joins bases; 8-11 branches on fourth pelvic ray; depth of body 4.1-4.7 in SL (Ref. 90102). Dorsal to anal fin-ray formula 9/8 (Ref. 116739).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.1 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 1584 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), 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).
