Welcome to GobiologyCN!

GobiologyCN is a curated, living database focusing on gobioid fishes recorded from China and adjacent waters. It brings together specimen records, photographs, and taxonomic notes assembled through ongoing study and collection.

This resource is compiled and maintained by Jing-Xuan Chen (Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China) as part of a continuing effort to document gobioid diversity and to keep pace, where possible, with current taxonomic understanding. ABOUT ME
