Climate warming is expected to alter the distribution, abundance, and impact of non-native species in aquatic ecosystems. In laboratory experiments, we measured maximum feeding rate critical thermal (CT max ) an invasive Eurasian fish, round goby (Neogobius melanostomus), acclimated a range temperatures (18–28 °C) reflecting current projected future conditions for nearshore Great Lakes. Fish we...

Occurrence and distribution of larval and juvenile fish was investigated in nearshore waters of the southeastern Caspian Sea including the Gorgan Bay. Samples were collected during seven surveys using a fine mesh beach-seine in five sampling sites from July 2014 to June 2015. A total of 15500 individuals mostly juvenile were captured, representing 18 species from 8 families. Most juveniles belo...

Since the invasion of round gobies (Neogobius melanostomus) to Lake Michigan, they have become integrated into both nearshore and offshore food webs. Round can be found in relatively shallow water (<20 m) during summer, but nearly disappear from these depths early fall. They been collected, occasionally, greater than 70 m warm seasons. These observations other anecdotal evidence suggest that mi...

The aim of this study was to assess the discriminability stocks round goby Neogobius melanostomus based on shape its otoliths. Recent otolith-shape-based species and stock discrimination studies were using otolith contours in sagittal plane we are following approach. We hypothesized possibility existence several geographically separated populations goby. Round gobies have been sampled from diff...
