Carassius auratus increases the turbidity of water in a suburban lake, which is though to be the reason for the extirpation of stocked game fish. Removal of the goldfish (for the second time) and rehabilitation of the lake was estimated at $300,000.

In the United States, large numbers of goldfish are cultured as bait, as forage for sport fishes, and as young fish that are then sold in the aquarium trade, mostly as live food (i.e. feeder fish) for carnivorous ornamental fishes.
