Pseudogobius olorum, commonly known as the bluespot goby or the Swan River goby, is a species of carnivorous goby in the family Oxudercidae. It is found in muddy areas and seagrass beds in the upper reaches of estuaries at a depth of 1-30 meters,[1] around the coast of most of Australia save north-western Australia. It is known to penetrate upstream, into freshwater, and may stay there for some time.[2]
