Title: A note on the existence of a well‐developed swimbladder in the bottom‐living goby <i>Pomatoschistus minutus</i>
Abstract: The swimbladder in the sand goby, Pomatoschistus minutus , collected in shallow waters of the Oslofjord, Norway, was studied. As the literature on swimbladders in gobies appeared to be confusing, a short review of relevant literature has been made. On average, the volume of the swimbladder in the sand goby expressed as percentage of the body weight was found to be 4·7 % in May and 2·5 % in June. The significance of this volume variation is discussed.
