Fish Details

Awaous personatus

AI-generated illustration

Awaous personatus, or the river goby, is a small freshwater goby that grows to about 11 cm. It lives in slow‑moving rivers and streams with muddy or sandy bottoms, and is usually targeted for its abundance rather than sport. While edible, it is not a prized table fish but can be used as bait for larger predators.
