Species within the northwest Australian clade of Hypseleotris (six species) and the genus Kimberleyeleotris (two species) are reviewed following the recording of new populations in the region and a molecular study of the group that identified three undescribed candidate species. Based on the analysis of extensive morphological and nuclear and mitoc...

Context 1
... A narrow range Kimberley endemic only known from Garimbu Creek, a major tributary of the Roe River, that drains northward off the Kimberley Plateau (Fig. 5). The species was observed over a 2 km reach directly upstream of a substantial waterfall near the junction of Garimbu Creek and the Roe River (Fig. 6b). However, it was not found directly below the falls. The species may be restricted to Garimbu Creek, but the precise extent of the species' range is unclear due to limited sampling in ...
Context 2
... A relatively widespread Kimberley endemic, known from the neighboring Charnley, Calder and Sale rivers that drain westward off the Kimberley Plateau. Sampling is fairly limited in these catchments, but the species appears to be widespread within them (Fig. 5). Interestingly, the species appears to be absent or at least rare in the Isdell River, which would likely connect with the Charnley and Calder rivers via Walcott Inlet during large floods that lower the salinity of the inlet. These catchments otherwise share a very similar fish ...
Context 3
... the focus of considerable sampling effort, although much of the lower King Edward River mainstream, between King Edward Falls and Kalumburu, has received little sampling effort due to difficulty of access. It appears that the species is genuinely restricted to the lower Carson River but may still be shown to occupy the lower King Edward River (Fig. 5). Ecology. Prefers slow-flowing deep-water habitat over sandstone and mixed rocky substrates, often near crevices, around aquatic plants, or near woody debris (Fig. 12a and 12b). The species was found in highest abundance in a floodplain lagoon (Fig. 12a). Individuals orientate themselves almost vertically in the water column close to ...

... Gobies are generally benthic species, thriving in freshwater and brackish environments, suggesting that the river has varied microhabitats supporting different species (Moran & Behrens, 2024). The Eleotridae family followed closely with seven species, including gudgeons and sleepers, which are also benthic fishes commonly found in softbottom riverine environments (Shelley et al., 2023). ...
This study examines the fish species composition and distribution across the estuary and its tributaries at RSU-San Agustin Campus, Romblon, Philippines. Fish communities in estuaries are structured by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors, including salinity gradients, water depth, substrate type, and food availability. Romblon, an archipelagic province in the central Philippines, is home to numerous estuarine and coastal ecosystems that play a vital role in sustaining local fisheries and biodiversity. A total of 39 fish species from 23 families were recorded across six
