Proterorhinus Marmoratus
''Proterorhinus marmoratus'' is a species of gobiid fish, a tubenose goby native to the brackish water parts of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, near the coasts of Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Ukraine and Russia. Also it is found in the Marmora Sea (Turkey). It can reach a length of TL. Systematics ''Proterorhinus marmoratus'', known as the tubenose goby, was formerly considered as the only representative of the genus ''Proterorhinus'' with a native range extending to the Caspian Sea basin, and a recent invasive range in the freshwaters of Europe and North America. In the 2000s it was split into several cryptic species based on the molecular and further morphological analyses.Neilson M.E., Stepien C.A.

Atlantic Ocean
The Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about . It covers approximately 20% of Earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area. It is known to separate the " Old World" of Africa, Europe and Asia from the "New World" of the Americas in the European perception of the World. The Atlantic Ocean occupies an elongated, S-shaped basin extending longitudinally between Europe and Africa to the east, and North and South America to the west. As one component of the interconnected World Ocean, it is connected in the north to the Arctic Ocean, to the Pacific Ocean in the southwest, the Indian Ocean in the southeast, and the Southern Ocean in the south (other definitions describe the Atlantic as extending southward to Antarctica). The Atlantic Ocean is divided in two parts, by the Equatorial Counter Current, with the North(ern) Atlantic Ocean and the South(ern) Atlantic Ocean split at about 8°N.

Scorpaena Scrofa
''Scorpaena scrofa'', the red scorpionfish, bigscale scorpionfish, large-scaled scorpion fish, or rascasse is a venomous marine species of ray-finned fish in the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. It is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the western Indian Ocean. Taxonomy ''Scorpaena scrofa'' was first formally described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his ''Systema Naturae'' in which he gave the type localities as the Mediterranean Sea at Rome and Marseille.

Gobius Cobitis
The giant goby (''Gobius cobitis'') is a species of goby native to coastal marine and brackish waters of the eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea at depths of from . This species is of minor importance to commercial fisheries and is also popular as a game fish. Description The giant goby, which grows to in length, is greyish to olive brown with 'pepper and salt' markings. These are especially notable in smaller specimens. In the breeding season the male is darker than the female. The body is covered in small scales, and the tail stalk is short. The eyes are small. Habitat The giant goby inhabits rock pools high up in the intertidal zone of sheltered shores. Occupied pools typically contain boulders under which the giant goby can take shelter, and have inputs of freshwater, so the water in the pools is usually brackish. Diet This species has been recorded to feed upon polychaete worms, green algae of the genus ''Ulva (genus), Ulva'', amphipods, crabs and i ...
