Odontamblyopus lacepedii, also known as warasubo, is a species of eel goby found in muddy-bottomed coastal waters in China, Korea and Japan. This species excavates elaborate vertical burrows up to 90 centimetres (35 in) long in the sea bed. This species can reach a length of 30.3 centimetres (11.9 in) SL. The specific name honours the French naturalist and politician Bernard-Germain-Étienne de La Ville-sur-Illon, comte de Lacépède, publisher of the 5 volume Histoire Naturelle des Poissons who is reported to have illustrated this species under the name Taenioïde Herrmannien. The species is edible.
Lentipes whittenorum is a species of goby endemic to marine, brackish and fresh waters of Indonesia. The specific name jointly honours the biologists Anthony (Tony) and Jane Whitten, who assisted the describer Kottelat in a number projects in Indonesia, particularly in the survey of Bali, an island on which this goby occurs.
Schismatogobius deraniyagalai, the redneck goby, is a species of goby native to India and Sri Lanka. This species inhabits river shallows, where it prefers areas with substrates that range from sand to gravel in which it can hide when threatened. This species can reach a total length of 4.5 cm (1.8 in). It can also be found in the aquarium trade. The specific name honours the Sri Lankan paleontologist and zoologist Paul E. P. Deraniyagala (1900-1976) for his contribution to the natural history of Sri Lanka.
Mugilogobius sarasinorum, Sarasin's goby, is a species of goby endemic to Lake Poso in Sulawesi, Indonesia. This species can reach a length of 8 centimetres (3.1 in) TL. It is important to local commercial fisheries and the fishing community.
Osteobrama belangeri is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Osteobrama.
