Gymnogobius opperiens; a species of goby
A specific variety of goby fish. The name is usually written in katakana.
シマウキゴリは汽水域に生息する小型のハゼです。
The Gymnogobius opperiens is a small goby that inhabits brackish waters.
The name likely derives from 縞 (shima, 'stripe') + 浮 (uki, 'floating') + 鮴 (gori, 'goby'), referring to a striped goby that floats or swims near the surface, but the exact derivation is uncertain.
