Fresh water(invasive spieces to the great lake)
Round goby was created in 1814.
a round goby is a type of fish that is a invasive species in all lakes in and around Michigan
The Round Goby eats the native sculpin and logperch's eggs so they are almost extinct.
yes.
snapper allaigators
The Goby Fish is native to Eastern Europe. They can be found in the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.
The round goby reproduces through external fertilization, with males establishing and defending nesting territories. During the breeding season, typically from late spring to early summer, females lay eggs in these nests, often in crevices or under rocks. Males then fertilize the eggs and guard them until they hatch, providing protection from predators. This reproductive strategy allows for high offspring survival rates in their habitat.
the males turn black when spawning but usually, they are green or gray!
The round goby, an invasive species in North American waters, disrupts local ecosystems by outcompeting native fish for food and habitat. Their aggressive feeding behavior can lead to a decline in native fish populations, particularly those that are already threatened or endangered. Additionally, round gobies can alter sediment structures and affect the overall health of aquatic environments, leading to further ecological imbalance. Their rapid reproduction and adaptability make them difficult to control and manage.
there are 2 theories. some people think they came in ballast water tanks but some people think that it was brought here on purpose because the Round Goby eats the Zebra Mussel(another invasive specie) and the Zebra mussel was in the Great Lakes first so people think that someone brought them here to take care of the zebra mussel invasion but as it turns out, the Round Goby became invasive as well and sorta helped the "zebra mussel invasion".
clean their boats to prevent it and fish poison
They cause harm to the environment because they eat animals thar are soon to be extinct
