In Lake Biwa, Japan, nest site use by two freshwater gobies,RhinogobiuskurodaiandRhinogobiussp. BW, found in sympatry and with male parental care, was investigated. The underside area of nest stones inR.kurodaiwas larger than inRhinogobiussp. BW. In neither species was there a significant relationship between body size of guarding males and underside area of nest stones. Female fecundity and egg mass area inR.kurodainests were larger than inRhinogobiussp. BW. These results suggest that this segregation in underside area of nest stones might result from the difference in female fecundity between these species, rather than interspecific competition over large nest sites.
