Reading Room Featured Article Spawning and Rearing the Sonora Goby, Gobiosoma chiquita It probably won’t win any beauty contests. A starring role in a feature film seems unlikely. And yet, a humble, almost universally overlooked species of goby was selected to provide a memorable experience to a group of high-school marine biology students. As part of a semester-long project, students were successful in their attempt to breed and rear an intertidal goby from the Sea of Cortez. This was a species of goby that had not previously been reported as having been successfully reared through its entire life cycle in captivity. Their processes, observations, and the results of experimentation with alternative feeds, microbial microflora, and water chemistry are described in this three part series. It is hoped that others who wish to try rearing marine fishes on a small scale might be able to adapt these techniques for their own endeavors, and that educators may find ideas on how to bring the field of marine aquaculture into the classroom.
