“…The variability among these studies is likely due to differences in location, time of invasion, and measurement technique. Despite this, we feel our goby populations are comparable to other Great Lake locations from which they have spread to inland tributary systems (Irons et al 2006;Krakowiak and Pennuto 2008;Kornis and Vander Zanden 2010;Poos et al 2010). The round goby populations we documented along the riverbed, offshore of the littoral zone, may also be similar to those observed (densities unreported) in profundal zone sites in the upper SLR (Farrell et al 2010).…”

“…And because Black Lake has adequate levels of Ca (C18 mg L -1 ), zebra mussel and insect prey, and relatively high transfer rates of trailered fishing boats, this important recreational fishing lake should get special attention from managers trying to prevent the spread and impacts of exotics such as the round goby. Secondary invasions and associated ecological impacts of other Great Lake tributary systems are occurring in geologic settings where SC (and presumably Ca) is higher (SC * 260-900; Irons et al 2006;Krakowiak and Pennuto 2008;Kornis and Vander Zanden 2010;Poos et al 2010) but it appears that lower SC waters of our area and elsewhere will remain as uninvaded ecological refuges from these exotic fish. As with dreissenids, modeling efforts on the geographic spread and impact of round gobies might consider the following risk thresholds based on Ca concentrations: low \ 8 mg L -1 , moderate 8-18 mg L -1 , and high [ 18 mg L -1 .…”

“…Secondary invasions by zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) have been studied extensively (Koutnik and Padilla 1994;Mellina and Rasmussen 1994;Miller and Haynes 1997;Schneider et al 1998;Kraft and Johnson 2000;Allen and Ramcharan 2001;Drake and Bossenbroek 2004;Frischer et al 2005;Bossenbroek et al 2007;Whittier et al 2008;Drake and Bossenbroek 2009) and recent attention has focused on the inland spread of the round goby (Neogobius melanstomus) (Phillips et al 2003;Irons et al 2006;Krakowiak and Pennuto 2008;Kornis and Vander Zanden 2010;Poos et al 2010). Although we have reasonable certainty in models developed to predict further spread of zebra mussels in North America, such information is far more limited for quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) and round gobies, especially for ecosystems with low levels of dissolved ions.…”

“…By comparison, their very limited distribution in Lake Superior may, in part, be due to the lower levels of dissolved ions in the lake (SC * 100). The secondary invasion of round gobies in North America is underway and they have colonized and impacted tributaries of Lakes Erie (Krakowiak and Pennuto 2008;Poos et al 2010), Huron (Poos et al 2010), Michigan (Kornis and Vander Zanden 2010) as well as the Mississippi river basin (Irons et al 2006), all of which have moderate SC levels (*260-900; Krakowiak and Pennuto 2008; K.S. Irons, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, pers.…”

Low dissolved ions may limit secondary invasion of inland waters by exotic round gobies and dreissenid mussels in North America

et al. 2011

Round gobies and dreissenid mussels, exotic species in the North American Great Lakes basin, are euryhaline organisms whose geographic spread and ecological impacts in freshwaters may be limited by low levels of dissolved ions such as calcium (Ca). We measured source populations of these exotics in the St. Lawrence River and found population densities of dreissenids (range of *1,000-6,400 individuals m -2 ) and round gobies (6-32 individuals m -2 ) similar to those in other Great Lake locations from which they have spread inland. However, we found little evidence for their secondary invasion of inland tributary rivers and lakes of northern New York State. Using natural waters collected from inland ecosystems, we ran laboratory bioassays of reproduction, growth, and survival of several life stages of zebra and quagga mussels as well as the round goby. We found little difference in the responses of zebra and quagga mussels, with each species showing moderate reproductive success, growth, and survival at Ca concentrations [ 13 mg L -1 and dramatic improvements at[18 mg L -1 . Round gobies showed moderate survival in waters with Ca concentrations [ 8 mg L -1 and high survival [ 18 mg L -1 . These bioassays are the first such experiments for quagga mussels and round gobies and show how all three species may be similarly restricted in their ability to invade and permanently colonize significant geographic regions of New York State and perhaps the US.

“…The round goby invasion is by no means complete, with much habitat remaining for exploitation (Krakowiak and Pennuto 2008;Kornis and Vander Zanden 2010). While initially found in lacustrine environments, gobies are now showing up in riverine settings as well (Poos et al 2010).…”

Swimming performance and invasion potential of the round goby

et al. 2011

European round gobies (Neogobius melanostomus) are displacing several important native North American fish species. Controlling their invasion is contingent on understanding their swimming inclination and potential. We assessed goby swimming inclination by recording activity in a 2 m flume over a~24 h period, and swimming potential using a critical swimming (U crit ) test, as well as burst tests in still and flowing water. When given the choice to move, gobies covered as much as 14 m/h, with a slight bias towards nocturnal activity and an overall upstream preference. When confined and coerced to perform a U crit test, they burst-and-held to achieve 35.5±1.1 cm/s. Thirty minutes following U crit , they were able to burst-and-coast in a sprint test to almost twice this speed. In still water, they exhibited startle bursts of up to 163 cm/s. We provide a swimming endurance model that indicates flow rates would need to be >125 cm/s to prevent upstream movement, and free of refuge areas in which to recover. The current study shows that the round goby is a surprisingly powerful swimmer with the capacity to continue its invasion should hydrologic control be absent.

Understanding the factors contributing to expansion of nonnative populations is a critical step toward accurate risk assessment and effective management of biological invasions. Nevertheless, few studies have attempted explicitly to test hypotheses regarding factors driving invasive spread by seeking correlations between patterns of vector movement and patterns of genetic connectivity. Herein, we describe such an attempt for the invasive tunicate Styela clava in the northeastern Pacific. We utilized microsatellite data to estimate gene flow between samples collected throughout the known range of S. clava in the region, and assessed correlation of these estimates with patterns of intracoastal commercial vessel traffic. Our results suggest that recent shipping patterns have contributed to the contemporary distribution of genetic variation. However, the analysis also indicates that other factors—including a complex invasion history and the influence of other vectors—have partially obscured genetic patterns associated with intracoastal population expansion.
