Comments: Only one specimen has been collected in 1955 at 47 m depth near the northern border of the German EEZ in the North Sea (55.8ºN 6ºE, ISH 29-1955). The snake blenny is also rare in the Baltic Sea, with only one specimen collected off Fehmarn in 1896 and 2 specimens collected in 1935 off the south coast of Sweden, north of Rügen. An isolated population along the German and Polish coasts is thought to be a relict population from the last ice age (Ref. 35388). Its existence is supported by the collection of larvae in the Western Baltic in 1993 and 1998 (Ref. 89229). Threat status: critically endangered in the German Baltic Sea (Ref. 88159). Human activities that might affect the snake blenny in the German North and Baltic Sea: fisheries, eutrophication, sediment removal, construction of cables and pipelines, offshore installations, channel deepening, technical installations (Ref. 88171).

Short description Hình thái học | Sinh trắc học

Elongated, eel-like fish with a pointed caudal fin. A single dorsal fin extends almost throughout the entire length of the body. The anal fin covers about two-thirds of the total length. Pale brown dorsally, becoming bluish on the sides, and greenish-yellow ventrally. There are numerous irregular brown patches on the body (Ref. 35388).

Sinh học     Tự điển (thí dụ epibenthic)

A benthic species (Ref. 58426), living in Y-shaped tubes in the mud in 50-200 m depth (Ref. 35388). The burrows are believed to be used for parental care of the eggs (Ref. 80819) . Feeds on small crustaceans, mollusks, brittle stars and worms (Ref. 5204). Matures at 3 years with about 20 cm length. Spawning takes place in December - January, 1,000 eggs are laid on the sea floor, in deep water (Ref. 35388). Isolated population in the Baltic Sea is probably a relict from the last ice age (Ref. 35388) that reached the Baltic Sea during the early saltwater stage of the sea (Ref. 82152; 82153).
