The Eurasian ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernua) is native to freshwater and brackish waters in Europe and parts of Asia, particularly in the Baltic Sea basin and along rivers like the Volga and Danube. It was introduced to North America in the late 1980s, likely through ballast water from ships. Since then, it has spread to various lakes and rivers, often becoming invasive in some regions.

The Eurasian Ruffe's eats mainly zoobenthos, which include chironomids, small aquatic bugs and larvae.
the invasive species of the fish Ruffe arrived in the great lakes in the year of 1985 or way to many years ago.
The Eurasian ruffe, a freshwater fish native to Europe and Asia, has had significant ecological impacts in regions where it has been introduced, particularly in the Great Lakes of North America. Its aggressive behavior and adaptability allow it to outcompete native fish species for resources, leading to declines in native populations and disruptions in local ecosystems. Additionally, the ruffe's presence can alter food web dynamics and affect the overall biodiversity in the affected areas. Conservation efforts are ongoing to manage its spread and mitigate its ecological effects.
Ruffe was created in 1758.
