Labrisomus socorroensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Labrisomus socorroensis faces severe threats from its extremely restricted range around Socorro Island in the Revillagigedo Archipelago. The species is vulnerable to habitat degradation from introduced feral cats and sheep that disturb coastal vegetation and increase sedimentation in nearshore waters. Marine pollution and potential climate change impacts on ocean temperatures pose additional risks to this endemic blenny's limited rocky reef habitat.
Habitat
This endemic blenny inhabits rocky reefs and coastal waters around Socorro Island in the Revillagigedo Archipelago, Mexico. It occupies shallow marine environments with rocky substrates and coral formations in the tropical Eastern Pacific.
