Cable's goby (Eleotrica cableae) is a species of goby endemic to reefs around the Galápagos Islands. This species grows to a length of 7 centimetres (2.8 in) SL. This species is the only known member of its genus.[2] The specific name honours the United States Government biologist Louella E. Cable (1900-1986), who illustrated this goby for the describer Isaac Ginsburg, and drew his attention to its separated ventral fins.[3]
