Salaria is a genus of fish in the family Blenniidae. It now contains marine species which are found around the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Freshwater species were reallocated to Salariopsis in 2022. One species, the peacock blenny, has colonised the northern Red Sea through the Suez Canal, a process knowns as anti-Lesspesian migration.
Species
Following the marine/freshwater split, two species are recognized in this genus:
- Salaria basilisca (Valenciennes, 1836)
- Salaria pavo (A. Risso, 1810) (Peacock blenny)
