Open encyclopedia reference
Odontamblyopus lacepedii, also known as daegaengi or warasubo, is a species of eel goby found in muddy-bottomed coastal waters in China, Korea and Japan. This species excavates elaborate vertical burrows up to 90 centimetres (35 in) long in the sea bed. This species can reach a length of 30.3 centimetres (11.9 in) SL. The specific name honours the French naturalist and politician Bernard-Germain-Étienne de La Ville-sur-Illon, comte de Lacépède, publisher of the 5 volume Histoire Naturelle des Poissons who is reported to have illustrated this species under the name Taenioïde Herrmannien.
The species is edible.
