The northern clingfish is a small marine species that inhabits the intertidal zone of the eastern Pacific Ocean. It is a member of the Gobiesocidae family, a group of ray-finned fishes known for their specialized suction discs, which allow them to cling to rocks and other substrates in dynamic tidal environments.W CalCOFI holds 2 observations of it in 1 dataset between 1991 and 2002, as larva.R
