Opeatogenys cadenati is a species of clingfish from the family Gobiesocidae. It occurs in the eastern Atlantic and has been recorded off Ghana, Senegal and Morocco,[2] as well as off the Canary Islands.[1] This species was described by John C. Briggs in 1957 with a type locality of Chenal de Joal off Senegal.[3] Briggs honoured the French ichthyologist Jean Cadenat (1908-1992) who was Director of the Marine Biological Section of the Institut Français d'Afrique Noire in Gorée, Senegal.[4]
