Gobius strictus, Schmidt's goby, is a doubtfully valid species of goby native to the Mediterranean Sea where it is known from around Mallorca and Morocco and from the Adriatic coasts of Croatia. This species can be found at depths of from 25mto40mm (82feetto130feetm). It can reach a length of 6.5cm (02.6inches) SL. It is suspected that this species actually represents a juvenile of G. cruentatus.
