Teleostei (teleosts) > Gobiiformes (Gobies) > Gobiidae (Gobies) > Gobiinae
Etymology: Didogobius: From Dido, queen of Carthage who killed herself when abandoned by Aeneas; Greek, mithology.
Eponymy: Dido was a princess of Tyre (in modern-day Lebanon), who sailed the eastern Mediterranean (where D. bentuvii occurs) to found the city of Carthage and become its first queen. She is particularly noted for her role in Virgil’s Aeneid. Dr Ulrich Schliewen is a German ichthyologist and aquarist who is Head of the Ichthyology Section of the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology and who was at the Zoolog Staatssammlung München.

Max length : 3.9 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 130809); 3.3 cm SL (female)

A rare cryptobenthic gobiid species of the Mediterranean, that spends the day hidden to become active during the night. It swimming movements are slow, and when disturbed, swims approximately 20 cm above the bottom. It lives on a bottom substrate of pebbles or on sand among Posidonia oceanica or Caulerpa racemosa (Ref. 92840, 130809).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
