Kopua
''Kopua'' is a genus of clingfishes found in the Pacific Ocean. ''Kopua'' are a genus of clingfishes belonging to the family ''Gobiesocidae''. Fish belonging to this genus are found in the Pacific Ocean, around New Zealand, Australia, and the East China Sea. The genus got its name “Kopua” from the Maori language; the name literally means “deep water”. There are currently four known species of the genus: ''Kopua numinata'' found in the northern waters of New Zealand, ''Kopua kuiteri'' found in southern Australian waters, ''Kopua japonica'' found in the East China Sea, and ''Kopua vermiculata'' found in the Sagami-nada Sea. The presence of ''Kopua'' in the Northern Hemisphere shows evidence of anti tropicality of fish within the family ''Gobiesocidae''. All species are found in waters deeper than 90m, ranging from 90m–408m in depth. The genus was discovered through a trawling net of the ocean floor. Not much is known about the genus’ habitat, except for the depth tha ...

Clingfish
Clingfishes are fishes of the family Gobiesocidae, the only family in the order Gobiesociformes. These fairly small to very small fishes are widespread in tropical and temperate regions, mostly near the coast, but a few species in deeper seas or fresh water. Most species shelter in shallow reefs or seagrass beds, clinging to rocks, algae and seagrass leaves with their sucking disc, a structure on their chest. They are generally too small to be of interest to fisheries, although the relatively large '' Sicyases sanguineus'' regularly is caught as a food fish, and some of the other species occasionally appear in the marine aquarium trade. Distribution and habitat Clingfishes are primarily found near the shore in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, including marginal seas such as the Mediterranean, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and Gulf of California. The greatest species richness is in tropical and warm temperate regions, but the range of a few extends into colder waters, lik ...
