Species of fish
Couch's goby (Gobius couchi) is a species of goby native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean as far north as southern Great Britain and Ireland,[1] the Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic Sea where it can be found living under stones on muddy sand in inshore waters and in the intertidal zone. This species can reach a length of 7.7 centimetres (3.0 in) TL.[2] The specific name and common name both honour Jonathan Couch (1789–1870), the Cornish ichthyologist and the author of A History of the Fishes of the British Islands published between 1862 and 1867.[3]
