The blue banded goby (Lythrypnus dalli) is a species of fish native to Catalina Island. It is capable of bidirectional sex change, developing male or female sex organs depending on its social environment. The blue banded goby's fluidity exemplifies the diversity of the natural world, challenging human conceptions of binary sexual categories. 

In the spirit of the blue-banded goby, The Goby Review is a new literary magazine seeking voices that traverse boundaries and occupy liminal spaces.
