Species of fish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yatabe blenny (Parablennius yatabei) is a species of combtooth blenny found in the northwest Pacific Ocean along the coasts of southern Japan and Korea. This species reaches a length of 9 centimetres (3.5 in) TL.[2] The specific name was coined in memory of Jordan and Snyder's friend and fellow alumnus at Cornell University the botanist Riokichi Yatabe [1851-1899] who drowned in an accident while on holiday in Japan.[3]
