Frillfin goby Frillfin goby The frillfin goby ("Bathygobius soporator") is a species of marine fish in the genus "Bathygobius". The frillfin goby is a usually dark colored goby with mottled coloring of black, gray, and tan, but body color is variable between habitats. It has a thin, gray-green first dorsal fin and a trailing second dorsal fin of the same color. Its brown eyes are proportionally large. Its cheeks are large. The caudal, anal, pectoral, and pelvic fins are a transparent yellow. The pelvic fins of the frillfin goby has one spine and five rays that are close together. The frillfin goby
Round goby invasive nematode "Anguillicoloides crassus". In the Vistula Lagoon, the most abundant parasites of the round goby are nematodes "Hysterothylacium aduncum" and "Anguillicoloides crassus". 25 species of parasites are noted in the round goby in the Great Lakes. The trematode "D. spathaceum" is most abundant core species overall. Also the cestode "Proteocephalus" sp. and the trematode "Neochasmus umbellus" are rather abundant. The round goby may circumvent more of the metacercariae of "N. umbellus" from completing their life cycle. The parasite “load” on the invasive gobies in the Great Lakes appears relatively low in comparison with their native habitats, lending support to
