Ogilbia cocoensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ogilbia cocoensis faces severe threats from its extremely restricted range limited to Cocos Island, making it vulnerable to any localized disturbances. The species is particularly susceptible to marine pollution, coastal development impacts, and potential climate change effects on ocean temperatures and chemistry. Its small population size and limited dispersal ability mean that any environmental changes could have disproportionate impacts on the entire species.
Habitat
This endemic fish species inhabits the marine waters surrounding Cocos Island in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It is typically found in shallow coastal waters and reef environments around this isolated oceanic island.
