The scientific family name for true gobies, a huge and diverse family of small fish with about 2,000 species found in marine and freshwater habitats worldwide.
From Latin 'gobius' (goby fish) plus the Linnaean taxonomic suffix '-idae' indicating a biological family; one of the oldest established fish family names.
Gobiidae is the second-largest fish family on Earth, yet gobies are so small and hidden that most people never see them—they're the silent majority of fish!
