Neoclinus blanchardi
Sarcastic fringehead
The sarcastic fringehead is a small saltwater tube-blenny that possesses an extremely large, brightly coloured mouth, which males display during territorial encounters, for which it has been given its common name. The term 'fringehead' reflects the distinctive ruff of tissue surrounding the fish's neck.W CalCOFI holds 85 observations of it in 1 dataset between 1969 and 2019, as larva.R

Observed ini
One row per dataset, one cell per year, darker with more observations — the same strip the front
door draws per dataset. Each row ends with the name that dataset uses (dataset_taxon);
the accepted name is written once, in the title above. A quiet pill marks a name the authority does not accept.

Every mark is a measured length with its own source — hover one to read it.
The reference objects are _data/size_reference.csv: two of them,
the 505 µm bongo mesh and the net's ring, are CalCOFI's own sampling gear.
