R. Allen & D. R. Robertson, 1991 }} The blue-spotted jawfish (Opistognathus rosenblatti) is a species of jawfish native to the Gulf of California. It is an inhabitant of reefs where it is found in large colonies at depths of around {{convert|12|m|ft}}. This species hides in its burrow at night, completely sealing the entrance. Every morning, it rebuilds the burrow entrance. It can reach a length of {{convert|10|cm|in}} TL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2] The blue-spotted jawfish was first discovered in the Tropical Eastern Pacific by Gerald Allen and David R. Robertson in 1991.[2] They belong to the class of Actinopterygii. DescriptionThe blue-spotted jawfish have an electric-blue spotting over a yellow or orange body with an elegant yellow dorsal fin. They have large eyes that make them look as "alien".[3] The males have stark white in their anterior halves. The females and the non-courting males are dark brown and have larger blue spots. The younger jawfish are uniformly colored yellow with blue spots. BiologyJawfish are named for their large mouths, which allow them to catch food. Their large mouths also allow them to dig their burrows by taking big mouthfuls of sand and spitting them out in order to create their hideaways.[4] Some jawfish consume worms, crustaceans, and invertebrates, but the blue-spotted jawfish feeds on tiny animals: benthic and planktonic invertebrates. They are colonial species and can be found in quite large colonies.[5] HabitatThe blue-spotted jawfish are very social amongst other members of its own species. They are not aggressive except to those who try to enter their burrows. They are found in cold water at deeper depth of the ocean in sandy rubbles and reef areas. They live in colonies of up to several hundred fish, with a minimal spacing of {{cvt|1|to|3|m|ft}} between individuals. They cover their burrow entrance at dusk and rebuild the opening every morning. Unlike the Opistognathus aurifrons, the blue-spotted jawfish only spend time out and above their burrows during the warm summer season.[2] HealthThere are two diseases that can affect the blue-spotted jawfish. First of all, the Brooklynellosis and blue-spotted jawfish disease.[6] When the blue-spotted jawfish are affected by the Brooklynella, it is likely that they will deteriorate and die within approximately 24 hours. The symptoms of Brooklynellosis include: peeling skin and color loss all over the body, or no appetite. They may leave their burrow and list around until they eventually die. ReproductionJawfish are mouth brooders, they utilize their mouth to hold the eggs until they reach the hatching point. They incubate the eggs in their mouths for about 5 to 7 days. In addition, males display behaviorally and color-wise in the summer months by becoming bright white, dashing {{convert|3|to|4|ft}} above their burrow, trying to attract the females. If the male is successful attracting the female, then the female join his tube for a few minutes after returning in hers.[2] NameThe specific name honours Richard H. Rosenblatt (1930-2014), an ichthyologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who made many contributions to the study of the fishes of the eastern Pacific.[7] References1. ^{{cite journal |author1= McCosker, J.E. |author2= Acero, A. |author3= Espinosa, H. |last-author-amp= yes |year= 2010 |title= Opistognathus rosenblatti (errata version published in 2017) |journal= The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species |volume=2010 |page= e.T155269A115294092 |doi= 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2010-4.RLTS.T155269A4762175.en }} {{Taxonbar|from=Q2522333}}{{ray-finned fish-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web |url = http://www.tfhmagazine.com/details/articles/a-cool-fish-in-more-than-one-sense-the-bluespotted-jawfish-opistognathus-rosenblatti-full-article.htm |title= A Cool Fish in More Than One Sense: The Blue-Spotted Jawfish Opistognathus rosenblatti (full article) |author= Bob Fenner |accessdate= 25 October 2018 |date= January 2012 |publisher= Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine}} 3. ^{{cite web |url= https://www.saltwaterfish.com/product-blue-spotted-jawfish |title= Blue Spotted Jawfish |accessdate= 25 October 2018 |publisher= saltwaterfish.org}} 4. ^{{cite web |url= https://www.bluezooaquatics.com/resources.asp?show=385 |title= Opistognathus rosenblatti - Blue-Spotted Jawfish |accessdate= 25 October 2018 |publisher= Blue Zoo Aquatics}} 5. ^{{FishBase|Opistognathus|rosenblatti|month=June|year=2018}} 6. ^{{cite web |url= http://aquanerd.com/2009/09/better-left-in-ocean-blue-spot-jawfish.html |title= Better Left in the Ocean – Blue Spot Jawfish |accessdate= 25 October 2018 |date= Sep 2009 |publisher= AquaNerd}} 7. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.etyfish.org/ovalentaria/ |title= Subseries OVALENTARIA: Incertae sedis |accessdate= 25 October 2018 |author1= Christopher Scharpf |author2= Kenneth J.
