Abstract

Although recent scuba-diving techniques improved biological research and exploration in shallow waters, distribution and ecology of cryptobenthic gobies (Teleostei: Gobiidae) are still widely unknown. In this work new records of 5 species, including some ecological information collected by scuba divers and underwater photographers, are presented for Italy (Mediterranean Sea).
