This rockling has a range in the E. Atlantic from Norway down to Portugal, and is present in the western basin of the Mediterranean. The smaller G. mediterraneus is another ‘three-bearded’ rockling with a similar range. But there are yet others with four or five barbels. None has commercial importance, but they have delicate flesh and G. vulgaris in particular is worth eating if obtainable and if really fresh.
