The common goby Pomatoschistus microps (Krøyer), is a small and abundant brackish water fish, which becomes sexually mature after the first winter of life and usually survives for only a single breeding season (Miller, 1975). During a protracted breeding season from approximately mid-April to August or September, the goby can produce up to 9 or 10 separate batches of eggs. It is therefore considered to be an iteroparous species, but because of the short adult life-span during which spawning occurs, this species has been termed an abbreviate iteropare (Miller, 1984). The nest-building activities of the male fish, courtship behaviour and subsequent brood-care are well documented (Vestergaard, 1976).
