Abstract
Systematic relationships of gobioid fishes of the eastern Atlantic
Pomatoschistus minutus
complex have been investigated by means of morphological, biochemical and karyological criteria. These studies confirm the existence of three taxa,
minutus
(Pallas 1770),
lozanoi
(De Buen 1923) and
norvegicus
(Collett 1903), one of which (
lozanoi
) is morphologically intermediate between, yet genetically distinct from, the other forms. Evidence is presented that
lozanoi
may interbreed with
minutus
or
norvegicus
in the wild, but that backcrossing of resulting hybrids does not occur. It is concluded that
minutus, lozanoi
and
norvegicus
all deserve specific status and these species are formally diagnosed.
