Brito's goby (Chromogobius britoi) is a species of goby found in the Eastern Atlantic near the coasts of the Canary Islands and Madeira where it occurs at depths of from 6 to 65 metres (20 to 213 ft) on rock outcrops. This fish inhabits crevices in the rocks. Males of this species can reach a length of 3.4 centimetres (1.3 in) SL while females only reach 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) SL.^[2] The specific name honours Alberto Brito Hernández (b. 1954) of the University of La Laguna on Tenerife for his numerous contributions to the ichthyology of the Canary Islands.^[3]
