The jugular blenny (Alloblennius jugularis) is a combtooth blenny (family Blenniidae) found in the western Indian Ocean.[2] Klunzinger originally placed this species in the genus Blennius.[3] It is a tropical, marine and freshwater blenny which is known from the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea, in the western Indian Ocean. Male jugular blennies can reach a maximum standard length of 5 centimetres (1.97 inches).[2][4] The blennies are oviparous.[5]
