Teleostei (teleosts) > Gobiiformes (Gobies) > Gobiidae (Gobies) > Gobiinae
Etymology: Eviota: No etymology given, suggested by Christopher Scharpt: from Latin 'eu' for 'true' and 'iota' for anything very small, in combination 'truly very small' referring to it as being the smallest vertebrate at the time it has benn described by Jenkins (thus, making the suggestion by Scharpt plausible.;  atriventris: The specific epithet is an adjective combining the Latin atrus (black) and venter (belly), referring to the black pigment in the area of the abdomen (Ref. 89418).

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: abdomen with black peritoneum, clearly visible externally; dorsal/anal formula 8/7; simple pectoral-fin rays; length of 5th pelvic-fin ray 40% or greater of 4th ray; genital papilla in male not fimbriate; cephalic sensory-pore system pattern group 2 (only IT missing) (Ref. 89418); characterized further by translucent red with pair of bright yellow stripe behind eye, lower stripe reaching midbody and upper nearly to caudal fin base; fins unmarked; longitudinal scale series 23-24; ctenoid scales, absent on head, nape and pectoral fin base; separated pelvic fins, thin membrane joining bases; 3-5 branches on fourth pelvic ray; depth of body 3.6-4.0 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Lives in small groups near Acropora colonies where it hides when threatened. Feeds on plankton(Ref. 89963). Sometimes solitary, frequently in shady spots near corals (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.8 - 29.3, mean 28.7 °C (based on 946 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 585 [228, 2,435] mg/100g; Iron = 2.18 [0.79, 5.51] mg/100g; Protein = 17.4 [15.2, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.101 [0.026, 0.413] g/100g; Selenium = 42.2 [8.7, 166.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 93.4 [13.2, 625.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 6.42 [2.99, 11.85] mg/100g (wet weight);
