Gobionidae
Family of fishes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gobionidae is a monophyletic family of benthic Eurasian cyprinoid fishes.[1] This is a species rich clade which, as a subfamily of the Cyprinidae was divided into five tribes: Gobionini, Pseudogobionini, Hemibarbini, Coreiini, and Sarcocheilichthyini.[citation needed] These subdivisions are not recognised by Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes.[2]

To adapt to different masticatory operations (food processing), members of the Gobioninae developed various types of pharyngeal bones and associated teeth; some have intermediate pharyngeal bones with rows of diverse teeth (conical, compressed,[clarification needed] and coarsely compressed), others have broad pharyngeal bones with a single row of molariform teeth.[3] Some Gobioninae have narrow pharyngeal bones with a row of extremely compressed teeth.[3]
