Small invaders conquer our waters

This article was featured in EUROFISH Magazine 1 / 2021.

Almost half a dozen goby species originating from brackish water areas of the Black, Azov and Caspian Seas are spreading almost explosively in Central and Eastern Europe. The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) has been particularly successful, even making it to North America’s Great Lakes. Such neozoa, which are difficult to contain, are a risk to regional ecosystems.

Eurofish Magazine issue 1 2021 features the fisheries and aquaculture sectors in Estonia, Norway and Ukraine. The Species section looks at the invasive gobies species.
