Abstract

No study has documented the species composition of Nike Background: fish (fam: Gobiidae) schools. The aim of this study is to document the species composition of the Nike-fish schooling. All samples were collected randomly from fisher’s catch during Methods: the fishing season on 5th–11th October 2018 at macrotidal area in Leato. Then, all specimens were identified morphologically by melanophore pattern differences. Subsequently, all identified-samples by melanophores pattern differences were sent to the genetic laboratory for identification. The morphological results show there are five individuals with a Results: different melanophores pattern. On the contrary, the genetic results only show four species from those five individuals. They are Sicyopterus and . pugnans, S. cynocephalus, Belobranchus segura, Bunaka gyrinoidesOur findings show that there are only four species that Conclusions: compose the Nike fish schooling in Gorontao Bay. They are Sicyopterus and pugnans, Sicyopterus cynocephalus, Belobranchus segura, Bunaka . gyrinoidesKeywords Nike-fish, Gorontalo, melanophores pattern, genetic, morphology
