Definition and meaning of jawfish:

jawfish - species of small bony fishes belonging to the family Opistognathidae. Jawfishes inhabit sandy, rubble-strewn areas on the reefs where they dig burrows into which they retreat when danger threatens. They hover over their burrows and feed on small animals that swim or drift by. The entrances to their burrows are lined with small pebbles or coral rubble and they are continually "grooming" the burrow by shoveling out mouthfuls of sand. They frequently raid neighboring jawfish's burrows to steal pebbles. Males are mouth breeders, carrying fertilized eggs in their mouths until they hatch
