Abstract


Periophthalmus gracilis, amphibious fish that move in land. This species walks out from water forfood, mating and social interaction. The aims of the research were to know which organ used for terrestrial locomotion and how their fins used it. The result shows that P. gracilis use pectoral fins, pelvic fins and caudal peduncle for moving in land.
Keywords: periophthalmus gracilis, amphibious fish, locomotion.
