Salarias nigrocinctus, the blackstreaked blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the Pacific ocean, around Tonga. [2]
Trichonis blenny, Salaria economidisi, is a species of fish in the family Blenniidae. It is endemic to Greece. It is only found in Lake Trichonis where it is threatened by habitat loss. This species reaches a length of 6.5 centimetres (2.6 in) SL.
Salaria is a genus of fish in the family Blenniidae. It contains both freshwater and marine species which are found around the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean. One species, the peacock blenny, has colonised the northern Red Sea through the Suez Canal, a process knowns as anti-Lesspesian migration.
The freshwater blenny ( is a species of fish in the family Blenniidae. It is found in African rivers and brooks in Algeria and Morocco flowing to the Mediterranean Sea. In Europe it is widespread in the freshwaters of Albania, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Montenegro, Spain and Portugal, while in Asia it is in Turkey and Israel. This species reaches a length of 15 centimetres TL. This taxon may be paraphyletic as the populations in Turkey and Israel are more genetically divergent from other populations of freshwater blenny than the Trichonis blenny and it has been suggested that the population in Kinneret Lake in Israel has been proposed as a new species.
Salarias fasciatus is a popular marine aquarium fish species in Australasia. Despite being also known as the lawnmower blenny due to its propensity to consume algae growth from rocks and glass, it is principally a detritivore, with plant material making up only 15% of its diet. This species reaches a length of 14 centimetres (5.5 in) TL. The lawnmower blenny is generally regarded as compatible with most other marine fish species and as a group with other lawnmower blennies.
Salarias is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Salarias segmentatus is a species of combtooth blenny from the Western Central Pacific. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. This species reaches a length of 11 centimetres (4.3 in) TL.
Salarias ramosus, the starry blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny from the Western Central Pacific. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. This species can reach a length of 14 centimetres (5.5 in) TL.
The Kirk's blenny is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Alticus. It was described by A. Günther in 1964, originally as a member of the genus Salarias. It is a tropical blenny which is known from the Red Sea, Mozambique, Réunion, the Persian Gulf, and India, in the Indian ocean. Kirk's blennies inhabit waters near the shore, and often spend time out of the water. They are able to breathe air when on land. They are oviparous, and form distinct pairs when mating; they also guard their eggs. They can reach a maximum total length of 11 centimetres, and feed primarily off of benthic algae.
Praealticus dayi is a species of combtooth blenny found in the eastern Indian ocean, in the Andaman Islands. The specific name honours the English military doctor and naturalist Francis Day (1829-1889) who was the Inspector-General of Fisheries in India. Day had described this blenny as Salarias alboguttatus in 1876 but this name was preoccupied by Salarias alboguttatus which had been described by Rudolf Kner in 1867.
Salaria basilisca is a species of combtooth blenny found in the Mediterranean Sea near Tunisia and Turkey, also in the Adriatic Sea. This species reaches a length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in) TL. It is found among seagrass, sometimes where there is a rocky substrate. The male guards the eggs produced by several females. They are protogynous hermaphrodites with individuals being females while young changing to males later.
Salaria pavo, the peacock blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the eastern Atlantic coast from France to Morocco; also in the Mediterranean and Black seas. This species has colonised the northern Red Sea by anti-Lessepsian migration through the Suez Canal. The peacock blenny reaches a length of 13 centimetres (5.1 in) TL.
Salarias alboguttatus, the whitespotted blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. This species reaches a length of 9 centimetres (3.5 in) TL.
Salarias ceramensis, the Seram blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western central Pacific ocean. This species reaches a length of 15 centimetres (5.9 in) TL.
Salarias guttatus, the breast-spot blenny or the blue-spot blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Pacific Ocean. This species reaches a length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL.
Salarias patzneri, Patzner's blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the western central Pacific ocean. This species can reach a length of 5.5 centimetres (2.2 in) TL. The specific name honours the Austrian ichthyologist Robert A. Patzner who worked on the genitalia of blennies and who shared specimens with Hans Bath.
Salarias sinuosus, known commonly as the fringelip blenny or the crinkle-lipped blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Indian Ocean. This species reaches a length of 6 centimetres (2.4 in) TL.
Salarias luctuosus is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the northwest Pacific ocean. This species reaches a length of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) SL.
Salarias obscurus is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western central Pacific ocean.
Salarias sexfilum is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western central Pacific ocean.
Salarias sibogai is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the western central Pacific ocean.
