Impact Description | Competition experiments revealed that the bullhead (Cottus perifretum) significantly altered habitat choice in the presence of the tubenose goby (Proterorhinus semilunaris). Bullhead was outcompeted and moved to less preferred habitat types. The same experiment with stone loach (Barbatula barbatula) showed no alteration in habitat choice in the presence of tubenose goby. Specimens sourced from Western European rivers. |
