Leuresthes tenuis, the California Grunion, is a species of grunion native to the Pacific coast of North America from Monterey Bay in California to Baja California. This species grows to a length of 19 centimetres (7.5 in) TL and is of minor importance to local fisheries, particularly during grunion runs in which the fish beach themselves to mate and lay eggs and are easily taken.
