“…A relatively high maximum oxygen consumption rate by the European bullhead can result from its environment and biology. Although both species are typically benthic, swim‐bladderless fish (Egger et al., 2021; Neilson & Stepien, 2011; Teletchea & Beisel, 2018; Vassilev et al., 2012), they show different micro‐habitat preferences. Bullhead typically live in well‐oxygenated streams and rivers, at temperatures of 2–17°C (Andreasson, 1971; Smyly, 1957; Tomlinson & Perrow, 2003), often occupying habitats close to the main current (Legalle et al., 2005).…”

In connection with the expansion of alien gobies in European waters, a question arises whether this process can be enhanced or inhibited by global warming. The gobies are of Ponto‐Caspian origin, where the climate is warmer than in invaded European areas. Therefore, they are likely to cope physiologically with climate warming better than native species. Our aim was to identify differences in metabolic traits under elevated summer temperature between the invasive gobies and their native counterparts. Using a laboratory respirometer, we compared the effect of elevated summer temperature (25 vs. 17°C) on the metabolic responses of fish in two species pairs consisting of an invasive goby versus its native counterpart from the same ecological guild: the invasive racer goby Babka gymnotrachelus versus native European bullhead Cottus gobio, and the invasive monkey goby Neogobius fluviatilis versus native gudgeon Gobio gobio. The paired species share functional traits, including morphological characteristics, despite belonging to different fish families. After 4 weeks of acclimation, standard metabolic rate (SMR), maximum metabolic rate (MMR) and aerobic scope (AS = MMR–SMR) of the fish were determined. We found that SMR increased under elevated temperature irrespective of species, yet it was always lower in the gobies than in natives. The MMR of the racer goby was lower than that of the bullhead across all temperatures, whereas no differences in MMR were found between the gudgeon and monkey goby. On the one hand, the elevated temperature did not affect the AS of the racer goby and bullhead. However, the AS of the racer goby was consistently lower than that of the bullhead across all temperatures. On the other, elevated temperature caused a decrease in AS in both the monkey goby and gudgeon. However, this temperature‐induced change in AS was higher in the gudgeon than in the monkey goby. In terms of AS, the invaders did not always outperform the natives at higher temperatures. However, the invaders had lower living costs by maintaining a lower SMR. These results suggest that invasion by gobies may be facilitated by global warming, which is likely to increase their occurrence and effect on local fish communities in freshwater temperate systems.
