Pholidichthys leucotaenia Pholidichthys leucotaenia Pholidichthys leucotaenia, commonly known as the convict blenny/goby or the engineer blenny/goby, is a marine fish from the west-central Pacific Ocean. It is neither a blenny nor a goby, but is in fact one of two species in the family Pholidichthyidae. A small eel-shaped fish, it can grow up to in length. Juveniles resemble the striped catfish "Plotosus lineatus", which is venomous, having a black body with a white dorsal stripe. As they develop, the stripe changes to white convict-style barring or spotting in the adult. It lives in shallow lagoons and on coastal reefs from the Philippines
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
