Clinids are primarily carnivorous bottom-feeders who consume small fishes and invertebrates from worms to crustaceans.
Primary Diet: carnivore (Piscivore , Eats non-insect arthropods, Molluscivore ); herbivore ; omnivore
Communication during spawning has been observed in clinids, with the male darkening in response to the paling of the female. Forms of communication unrelated to spawning are not known.
Communication Channels: visual ; tactile
Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; chemical
The first fossil record of clinids dates to the lower Tertiary and middle Eocene periods.
Currently, there is no known conservation threat to any member of this family.
Most clinids lay eggs, but some bear live young. All clinids occurring in the Indo-West Pacific bear live young, while all the egg-laying species (7 or 8) occur variously within the eastern Pacific, Mediterranean, and Atlantic. The species for which information is available, Paraclinus marmoratus, hatches from its eggs after 10 days. Rate of development varies; some clinids have a planktonic stage lasting less than 24 hours, while others have an extended larval stage. Little is known about the development of starksiins, which bear live young. Apparently the fertilized eggs receive no nourishment from the mother, as do the eggs of some clinids.
The Clinidae family is widely variable. Most sources estimate about 20 genera and 75 species, with some casting a more inclusive net to arrive at around 40 genera and 180 species. While most notable for their diversity, clinids tend to have spines on the dorsal fin and hair-like growths around the head called cirri, sometimes pronounced enough to give the fish its common name, as in the case of the sarcastic fringehead. For the most part cryptically marked bottom feeders, many clinids change color near spawning time. Many are egg-layers, but some give birth to live young.
No specific information was found concerning any negative impacts to humans.
The brilliant markings of some clinids could make them valuable in the aquarium trade, and many could be easy to raise in captivity, but this has not been done so far.
Positive Impacts: pet trade
Clinids are the dominant fishes in some temperate intertidal regions. They live in association with kelp beds where they help regulate populations of their prey, which are mostly small fishes and invertebrates from worms to crustaceans.
Clinids primarily occur along temperate coasts in both northern and southern hemispheres. Many species are found in the waters of southern Australia and southern Africa, where they have in many regions become the dominant intertidal fishes. They also inhabit areas of the Bahamas, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific coast of the United States.
Biogeographic Regions: nearctic (Native ); palearctic (Native ); oriental (Native ); ethiopian (Native ); neotropical (Native ); australian (Native ); indian ocean (Native ); atlantic ocean (Native ); pacific ocean (Native )
A marine family, clinids are mostly bottom-dwellers (benthic) (see an exception below in Predation). They occupy various habitats in shallow water, including tide pools, coastal reefs, under stones, or amongst sea grass or algae. They are mostly found in intertidal zones of temperate waters and tend to live in close association with seaweed.
Habitat Regions: temperate ; saltwater or marine
Aquatic Biomes: pelagic ; reef ; coastal
Other Habitat Features: intertidal or littoral
In general most small reef fishes live between three and five years.
Clinids appear in a wide variety of shapes and forms. Most have small, round (cycloid), embedded scales, although some are scaleless. Their snouts are often pointed and their heads blunt. Other common elements may include the possession of fixed conical teeth and cirri, or fleshy hair-like projections, on the head. Clinids tend to have more spines than rays on the dorsal fin, which usually begins close to the head. The first few spines are often longer than the others and separated from the rest of the fin. Clinids tend to be cryptically colored to match their surrounding habitat. Most are small fish, measuring as little as 5 cm, but Heterostichus rostratus, or giant kelpfish, can reach 60 cm (Click here to see a fish diagram).
Clinids characteristically exhibit sexual dimorphism. In some genera, such as Labrisomus and Malacoctenus, the sexes have permanent color differences, with the male usually more colorful than the female. Such color differences may be due to each sex adapting to separate habitats. However, many clinids display temporary color differences during spawning seasons. Males in some species of Labrisomus and Paraclinus, for example, darken considerably during spawning and the female becomes almost white. Males and females in many clinid groups can be distinguished by minor differences in the form of the urogenital papilla. In some cases males are larger and have larger jaws than females. Intromittent organs are found on males of Starksia, as that genus is ovoviviparous.
Other Physical Features: ectothermic ; bilateral symmetry
Sexual Dimorphism: sexes colored or patterned differently; male more colorful; sexes shaped differently
Clinids are usually cryptically marked to avoid detection by predators. Colors vary in order to match the fishes’ background. In the Bahamas Hemiemblemaria swims with schools of wrasse, mimicking them. Male clinids chase away other fish while spawning, and often guard the nest of eggs.
Anti-predator Adaptations: mimic; cryptic
Males of some clinids, such as Paraclinus marmoratus, may be sequentially polygynous. Evidence for this comes from the fact that eggs at different stages of development can be found in their nests, suggesting that multiple females deposited eggs in the nest. (For a description of color changes in clinids at spawning time, see Physical Description above.)
Mating System: polygynous
Reproductive habits in Clinidae are quite variable. Information on spawning seasons is limited, but the species studied spawn in spring, during the day. Some may spawn several times a year, and sperm storing may occur. In some species females lay eggs on a rocky surface, quivering vigorously to release them, and males then fertilize the eggs. Males guard females during spawning, chasing away other fish. He may stimulate her to continue spawning by touching her abdomen. When she leaves he may court another female (see Mating Systems). Some clinids, especially the Indo-West Pacific species, bear live young. These may be viviparous, in which case the mother’s body provides nourishment to the embryo, or ovoviviparous, in which case the eggs develop without additional nourishment inside the mother. Males in the live-bearing species have intromittent organs.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; fertilization (External ); viviparous ; ovoviviparous ; oviparous ; sperm-storing
Male clinids often guard eggs after the female leaves, protecting them from predators, and may nudge the egg mass to achieve water flow through it.
Parental Investment: male parental care
Die Klipvisse (Clinidae) is 'n vis-familie wat hoort tot die orde Perciformes. Daar is twintig genera met drie en tagtig spesies wat hoort tot dié familie en een en veertig van die spesies kom aan die Suider-Afrikaanse kus voor en al een en veertig dié spesies is endemies aan Suider-Afrika.
Die familie is aan die klein kant, tussen 5 – 30 cm lank. Die lywe is lank en bedek met klein skubbe en die oë is hoog in die kop en naby mekaar. Die dorsale vin is lank. Die sylyn begin hoog en net na die pektorale vin buig dit afwaarts en gaan in 'n reguit lyn na die stert. Al die Suid-Afrikaanse spesies is vivipaar. Die visse is oor die algemeen goed gekamoefleer en pas goed in die getypoele, riviermondings, alge en kelp waar hulle leef. Die visse is karnivore en vreet onder andere klein skaaldiere en wurms.
Die volgende genera en spesies kom aan die Suid-Afrikaanse kus voor:

Els clínids (Clinidae) és una família de peixos marins inclosa en l'ordre Perciformes. Es distribueixen per aigües temperades de tots els mars del món.
Amb l'excepció del gegantesc Heterostichus rostratus, de fins a 60 cm, la majoria són molt petits. Poden tenir un cos aixafat o prim, per la qual cosa alguns són similars a les anguiles. Les espines en l'aleta dorsal són més llargues que els radis tous. Tenen a més dues espines en l'aleta anal. Igual que altres blenoïdeus, els clínids presenten estructures bigoti en el cap anomenades cirrus.
La majoria de les espècies posseeixen coloracions molt riques i variables, en tons entre marró vermellós a verda oliva, sovint en patrons críptics per camuflar-se entre la densa mala herba d'algues en la qual solen viure. Generalment romanen a les zones intermareales a profunditats d'uns 40 metres, algunes espècies també es troben en les tolles de marea.
Els ous són dipositats en algues, on són guardats pels mascles. S'alimenten principalment de petits crustacis i mol·luscs.
Existeixen unes 86 espècies agrupades en 20 gèneres:

Die Klippfische oder Kelpfische (Clinidae) bewohnen mit 26 Gattungen und fast 90 Arten gemäßigte Regionen des Atlantiks, des Indischen Ozeans und des Pazifiks, sowohl in der nördlichen wie auch der südlichen Hemisphäre. Nur vier Arten leben im tropischen Indopazifik. Bevorzugte Lebensräume sind Felsküsten und Weichböden.
Wie bei den Beschuppten Schleimfischen (Labrisomidae), die früher zu den Clinidae gerechnet wurden, ist ihr Körper beschuppt. Klippfische haben unverzweigte Flossenstrahlen, bei der Rückenflosse ist der hartstrahlige Teil immer länger als der weichstrahlige. Die größte Art Heterostichus rostratus wird 60 Zentimeter lang. Die übrigen Arten bleiben deutlich kleiner.
Bei den Cliniden gibt es sowohl Eier legende, als auch lebendgebärende Arten. Männchen der lebendgebärenden haben ein Kopulationsorgan. Die Larven schlüpfen im Mutterleib aus den Eiern und werden nach der Metamorphose zum Jungfisch geboren.
Andere Klippfische heften die Eier mit Klebefäden an Pflanzen. Dazu gehört der im Mittelmeer lebende Clinitrachus argentatus. Weder die Eier legenden noch die lebendgebärenden Arten betreiben Brutpflege.

Clinidae is a family of marine fish in the order Blenniiformes within the series Ovalentaria, part of the Percomorpha . Temperate blennies, the family ranges from the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres. The family contains about 86 species in 20 genera, the 60-cm-long giant kelpfish (Heterostichus rostratus) being the largest; most are far smaller.
With small cycloid scales, clinoid blennies may have a deep or slender build; some members of the family bear the name "snake blenny" and "eel blenny" for this reason. Dorsal spines outnumber soft rays; two spines are in the anal fin. Like many other blennies, clinids possess whisker-like structures on their heads called cirri.
The majority of species possesses rich, highly variable colouration in shades of reddish-brown to olive, often with cryptic patterns; this suits the lifestyle of clinid blennies, which frequent areas of dense weed or kelp. Generally staying within intertidal zones to depths around 40 m, some species are also found in tide pools. Eggs are deposited on kelp for the male to guard. Clinids feed primarily on small crustaceans and mollusks.
The name Clinidae derives from the Greek klinein meaning "sloping", a reference to the shape of the sphenoid bone.
These genera are classified in the family Clinidae:[1]

Klinit (Clinidae) on ahvenkaloihin kuuluva heimo, jonka lajeja tavataan kaikista valtameristä.
Varhaisimmat klinien heimoon kuuluvat fossiilit on ajoitettu eoseenikaudelle. Heimon lajien määrä vaihtelee lähteittäin. Useimmiten heimossa katsotaan olevan 20 sukua ja noin 75 lajia. Eräät kalatieteilijät katsovat klinien muodostavan yhdessä haukiluikeroiden (Chaenopsidae), tupsukkaiden (Labrisomidae) kanssa monofolyyttesen heimon. Tässä luokittelutavassa klineihin kuuluisi noin 180 lajia ja 40 sukua.[1][2][3]
Klinilaji ovat ulkonäöltään monimuotoinin heimo. Yhteisiä tekijöitä on pienet suomut, piikikkäät evät ja selkäevän etosan ruodot ovat usein takaosan ruotoja koerkeammat. Päässä on usein karvamaisia tai piikkimäisiä ulokkeita. Väriltään klinilajit ovat usein hyvin kirjavia ja sulautuvat hyvin elinympäristöönsä. Useimmat heimon kaloista ovat melko pienikokoisia noin 5 cm:n pituisia, mutta suurin laji kelppiklini (Heterostichus rostratus) voi saavuttaa 60 cm:n pituuden.[1][3]
Klinejä tavataan Atlantin, Intian valtameren ja Tyynenmeren alueilta. Erityisen yleisiä ne ovat eteläisen Afrikan ja Australian sekä Yhduysvaltain rannikoilla. Tyypillisesti ne elävät lauhkeissa vesissä. Klinit ovat tyypillisesti melko matalan veden lajeja ja ne elävät kivikoissa, koralliriutoilla, vesikasvien ja levien seassa ja vuorovesilammikoissa.[1][3]
Klinit elävät lähellä pohjaa ja syövät pieniä kaloja ja selkärangattomia eläimiä kuten matoja ja äyriäisiä. Suurin osa heimon kaloista kutee, mutta jotkut synnyttävät eläviä poiksia. Lisääntyminen tapahtuu keväisin. Koiras vartio munia. Eräitä heimon lajeja voidaan pitää akvaarioissa.[1][3]

I Clinidae sono una famiglia di pesci di mare affini ai Blenniidae.
Sono presenti in tutti gli oceani, soprattutto nelle fasce temperate. Hanno la loro massima diversità nei mari sudafricani ma sono molto comuni in tutto l'emisfero australe. Sono presenti con poche specie nei mari californiani e con una nel mar Mediterraneo dove è presente la specie Clinitrachus argentatus.
Sono pesci bentonici costieri che spesso vivono nella zona di marea o nelle foreste di kelp.
Estremamente simili ai Blenniidae da cui si distinguono per la presenza di scaglie, di solito piccole e poco visibili, e per la pinna dorsale composta del tutto o in gran parte da raggi spinosi. Questa pinna ha spesso un lobo anteriore che può sembrare staccato dalla porzione principale. Possono esserci tentacoli sulla testa ma, a differenza dei blennidi, mai sul muso.
La livrea è di solito mimetica ma ciò nonostante molte specie presentano colori vivaci.
Hanno dimensioni piccole o minuscole tranne il californiano Heterostichus rostratus che può raggiungere i 60 cm.
Carnivori, si cibano di piccoli crostacei, molluschi ed altri invertebrati.
Molte specie sono vivipare a fecondazione interna.
Non hanno nessuna importanza per la pesca se non per quanto riguarda il mercato acquariofilo.
Come i blennidi si adattano molto bene alla vita in acquario e sono allevati spesso anche nelle vasche domestiche.

Clinidae é uma família de peixes da subordem Blennioidei.
Fjällslemfiskar (Clinidae) är en familj i underordningen slemfisklika fiskar (Blennioidei). Det finns 73 arter i 20 släkten som förekommer i tempererade zoner av Atlantiska oceanen, Indiska oceanen och Stilla havet på båda sidor av ekvatorn. Fyra arter lever i tropiska regioner vid Sydostasien. De föredrar habitat med klippiga kuster och mjuk havsbotten.
Liksom familjen Labrisomidae, som tidigare räknades till fjällslemfiskarna, har dessa djur fjäll på kroppen. Den största arten i familjen, Heterostichus rostratus, blir 60 centimeter lång. Alla andra arter når betydligt mindre kroppslängd.
Hos fjällslemfiskarna finns både arter som lägger ägg och arter som föder fullt utvecklade ungar. Hos arter som inte lägger ägg har hannar ett särskilt organ för kopulationen. Larverna kläcks i moderns kropp och efter att de genomgått metamorfosen "föds" färdiga ungdjur.
Andra fjällslemfiskar häftar fast sina ägg på växter med hjälp av klibbiga snören. Till dessa arter räknas Clinitrachus argentatus som förekommer i Medelhavet. Varken äggen eller ungfiskarna vårdas av föräldrarna.
