Pholis laeta, common name the crescent gunnel, is a species of marine fish in the family Pholidae, the gunnels. It is a small fish that can remain out of water and breathe air. It is found mainly along the Pacific coast in shallow waters. Pholis laeta, like other gunnels, is somewhat eel-like. It grows to a maximum length of approximately 25 cm. It was once confused with Pholis ornata (the saddleback gunnel) as it is nearly identical in appearance. This fish is able to breathe air. Order: Perciformes, Family: Pholidae, Genus: Pholis, Species: Pholis laeta (Cope, 1873).
