Cottus metae is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. It inhabits the upper Sava River system in the Danube basin. It reaches a maximum length of 9.7 cm (3.8 in).[2] It prefers small streams to medium-sized rivers. This species was described as a separate species from the European bullhead (C. gobio) in 2005 by Jörg Freyhof, Maurice Kottelat and Arne W. Nolte.[3] The specific name "honours the Slovenian biologist Meta Povž, in recognition of her assistance to the authors in a variety of projects".[4]
