A genus of small freshwater fish in the goby family, including the common gudgeon found in European rivers and streams.
From Latin 'gobio,' a variant of 'gobius' referring to a small river fish; used in scientific nomenclature since Linnaeus established modern taxonomy.
The gudgeon (Gobio gobio) was one of the first fish ever formally named by science—it's a living fossil of taxonomy showing how Europeans documented their local wildlife!
