Nematogobius maindroni is a species of ray-finned fish from the family Gobiidae, a true goby. It is native to the Eastern Atlantic from Senegal to Angola, it has also been re[ported from Namibia and from the islands in the Gulf of Guinea. It is common in brackish estuaries, but may migrate up rivera into freshwater.[1] The specific name honours the France entomologist Maurice Maindron (1857-1911), the collector of the type specimen from Senegal.[2]
