Tridentiger is a genus of fish in the subfamily of gobies called the Gobionellinae, known commonly as the tripletooth gobies.[1]
These fish are native to the coastal waters of China , Japan , and Korea, where they live in brackish habitat types. They are often dominant members of the local fish fauna. Some are known as invasive species in North America.[2]
These gobies are generally under 10 centimeters long. They have tricuspid outer teeth on their upper and lower jaws.[2]
