Beginning in 2004, The State of Ohio has closed the Smallmouth Bass Micropterus dolomieu fishery in Lake Erie during the months of May and June, due to high predation rates by Neogobius melanostomus on nests affecting recruitment. The months of May and June normally account for 50 percent of the total Smallmouth Bass catch in Lake Erie so there will be a considerable loss in funds generated by recreational fishers.

Habitat enhancement projects can restructure a fish community because these projects may provide ideal habitat for the reproduction and expansion of Neogobius melanostomus, which prefer large interstitial spaces among rocks for refuge and spawning.

the concept that
Ponto-Caspian goby species attach their clutches to

evidence and thus remains an untested hypothesis.

The Menasha Lock on the Fox River (Wisconsin) is closed to navigation to prevent upstream movement of Neogobius melanostomus into Lake Winnebago. An electric barrier has been proposed to allow the lock to open but still prevent upstream fish movement.

Neogobius melanostomus did not disrupt fishing for bass in 2003, if disruption is defined by the association between catch rates for round goby and smallmouth bass. Catching round gobies did lead to negative angler perception of fishing quality.
