“…However, considering that these estimates were based on different age reading methods, it is worth examining to what extent the methods used could have biased the age estimates. Maximum ages obtained from whole otoliths range between 5 and 7 years (Azour et al, 2015;Gümüş & Kurt, 2009;Sokołowska & Fey, 2011), 3 years for whole otoliths soaked in glycerol (Shemonaev & Kirilenko, 2009), 3 years for frontal sectioning (MacInnis & Corkum, 2000) and 2 -4 years for scales (Johnson, Bunnell, & Knight, 2005 Reader 1 Modal age Age between the Black Sea and Baltic (Azour et al, 2015;Gümüş & Kurt, 2009;Sokołowska & Fey, 2011) and the Laurentian Lakes (Johnson et al, 2005;MacInnis & Corkum, 2000) were unfortunately also based on different age reading methods preventing a sound assessment of whether the observed differences are unbiased. These potential impact of method on the interpretation of fundamental biological parameters of round goby further underline the need for a standardised age reading method.…”

Summary In the Baltic, the first observation of the round goby (Neogobius melanostomus, Pallas 1814) was made in 1990. Within the past decade the species became invasive and spread rapidly throughout the Baltic Sea. Studies about the fishes potential impacts on resident species promote the need for an increasing knowledge of their basic stock structures such as growth rates, longevity and mortality, which all rely on accurate estimates of age. Former studies on the round goby have used several different age reading techniques. In this study, we compared three standard otolith preparation methods for ageing and present the best procedure for the invasive round goby. The results showed significant differences in age estimates of the same fish between the different preparation methods and between readers. The estimation of the first annulus, the first year, was the most problematic. The overall agreement was lowest when reading the whole otoliths while the best performance was achieved with sectioned and stained preparation method. Depending on method used the growth estimates also differed. The results question comparability between previous studies and highlight the importance of harmonised aging procedures for the round goby for obtaining correct estimates of population parameters such as growth rate, age at maturity, and longevity.

“…One of the latest occurrences of the species in new areas comes from Switzerland, River Rhine, the harbor of Kleinhüningen (Kalchhauser et al, 2013). Such an expansive dispersion of N. melanostomus is associated with the species' tolerance of various range of environmental conditions (Moskal'kova, 1996;Charlebois et al, 1997;Young et al, 2010), a wide range of diet and flexibility in feeding behaviour (Shemonaev and Kirilenko, 2009;Števove and Kováč, 2013), aggressive behaviour during reproduction period, high reproduction rate and parental care, larger body size compared with other benthic species (Charlebois et al, 1997;Jude, 1997), as well as flexibility in life-history traits (Gutowsky and Fox, 2012). Indeed, previous studies focused on invasive N. melanostomus have revealed that this species has the capability to generate forms with life-history traits that are different between its native populations and its non-native populations (MacInnis and Corkum, 2000;L'avrinčíková and Kováč, 2007;Kováč et al, 2009).…”

Key-words:round goby, biological invasions, epigenesis, alternative ontogenies, reproductive parametersOne of the most successful invasive fish species with negative impacts is round goby Neogobius melanostomus that has spread from its original Ponto-Caspian area to west and central Europe and even to North America. Previous studies focused on invasive fishes have revealed that these species have the capability to generate forms with life-history traits that differ between native and non-native populations. As a contribution to explain their invasion success, the theory of alternative ontogenies and invasive potential has been developed. The main aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis derived from this theory, which predicts that females of the non-native population of N. melanostomus (from Slovakia) will have significantly smaller oocytes, higher fecundity and smaller body size at maturity than those of the native population (from Bulgaria). All the three quantitative parameters of life-history traits examined in this study were found to be consistent with the predictions tested. Variations in reproductive parameters observed in non-native N. melanostomus demonstrate the species' phenotypic plasticity, which appears to be an important attribute that helps potential invaders to establish new populations in unknown environments. However, further experimental studies are necessary to verify this theory by testing hypotheses derived from it. Une des espèces les plus envahissantes de poissons aux impacts négatifs est le gobie à taches noires Neogobius melanostomus qui s'est propagé à partir de sa zone ponto-caspienne native vers l'ouest et le centre de l'Europe et même en Amérique du Nord. Des études antérieures sur les poissons invasifs ont révélé que ces espèces ont la capacité de générer des individus avec des traits d'histoire de vie qui diffèrent entre les populations autochtones et non autochtones. En guise de contribution à expliquer leur succès d'invasion, la théorie des ontogenèses alternatives et du potentiel invasif a été développée. L'objectif principal de cette étude était de tester l'hypothèse dérivée de cette théorie, qui prédit que les femelles de la population non autochtone de N. melanostomus (de Slovaquie) auront de plus petits ovocytes, une plus forte fécondité et une plus petite taille à maturité que celles de la population autochtone (de Bulgarie). Tous les trois paramètres quantitatifs des traits d'histoire de vie examinés dans cette étude ont été jugés conformes aux prédictions testées. Les variations dans les paramètres de reproduction observés chez N. melanostomus non indigènes démontrent la plasticité phénotypique de l'espèce, qui semble être un attribut important qui aide les envahisseurs potentiels à établir de nouvelles populations dans des environnements inconnus. Toutefois, d'autres études expérimentales sont nécessaires pour vérifier cette théorie en testant des hypothèses qui en découlent. RÉSUMÉ

“…The lifespan of gobies varies greatly between species (Azevedo & Simas, 2000;Scalici & Gibertini, 2009;Shemonaev & Kirilenko, 2009) and several species have been reported to display short-lived life cycle (e.g. about 1 year in tidewater goby Eucyclogobius newberryi (Girard, 1856) (Swcnson, 1999) and decorated goby Istigobius decoratus (Herre, 1927) (Kritzer, 2002).…”
