“…Kornis et al, 2013), it remains relatively understudied in Europe (but see Plachocki et al, 2012;Hempel et al, 2016;Mikl et al, 2017). Invasive non-native fish such as tubenose gobies have the potential to severely affect ecosystem relationships (Kornis et al, 2013) by causing changes to local food webs (Balshine et al, 2005;Copp et al, 2005;Johnson et al, 2005). In order to evaluate the potential impact of such species, however, detailed data are required on the interaction of such non-native species with native fish communities.…”

“…The species spread rapidly throughout the Great Lakes (Clapp et al 2001, Schaeffer et al 2005, Walsh et al 2007) and has reached densities >I00 individuals m-* in some habitats (Chotkowski andMarsden 1999, Steinhart et al 2004). The round goby invasion has altered food webs in the Great Lakes (Johnson et al 2005b). For instance, the round goby may locally extirpate native benthic species (Janssen and Jude 2001, Lauer et al 2004, Balshine et al 2005, reduce recruitment of demersal-spawning fishes by preying on their eggs and larvae (Chotkowski and Marsden 1999, Nichols et al 2003, Steinhart et al 2004, provide a new pathway for biomagnification of contaminants in the food web (Hanari et al 2004, Hogan et al 2007, Ng et al 2008, and serve as a vector for transfer of botulism neurotoxin to fish-eating birds (Yule et al 2006).…”

The non-indigenous round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) has caused considerable impact in the Laurentian Great Lakes. We sampled round gobies in shoreline habitats and tributary systems of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron to determine patterns of habitat use and diet, including the extent dreissenid mussels were consumed. Along the shoreline, round goby catch did not significantly differ based on the presence of emergent vegetation, but deeper habitats were preferred relative to shallow areas closer to shore. In tributary systems, submersed aquatic vegetation in coastal lakes was preferred. The majority of round gobies were small, generally between 3 and 7 cm, and had diets comprised mainly of zooplankton and dipterans with few dreissenids. Our results indicate that the round goby has invaded coastal areas inconsistently across habitat types and that the species can proliferate in the absence of dreissenid mussels.

“…Johnson et al 2005) due to their high abundance and specific ecological traits. They are small, bottom-dwelling, specialized benthivorous fish (Berg 1949) that may affect native benthic invertebrates (Dubs, Corkum 1996;Kuhns, Berg 1999;Janssen, Jude 2001;Barton et al 2005) but at the same time become a substantial food resource for the top predators.…”

We conducted a snapshot study to check the importance of non-native Ponto-Caspian gobies (monkey and racer goby) in the diet of native obligate (northern pike, pikeperch) and facultative (Eurasian perch) predators in the Vistula River 3-4 years after the appearance of aliens. In total 71 fish with non-empty stomachs, taken randomly from net catches from various parts of the river were analyzed, including 32 pike, 20 pikeperch and 19 perch specimens. We found that gobiids prevailed in the diet of smaller (<30 cm standard length, SL) individuals of pike and pikeperch, as well as larger (>15 cm SL) specimens of perch, although the effect of predator size on the presence of gobiids in the diet was not significant in the case of perch. Our results indicate that gobiids as a prey fish can stimulate considerable changes in local food webs, which require further studies.
