Timoniella sp. infection of the introduced Eurasian ruffe in the Great Lakes has ranged from densities of 7-61 parasites per ruffe, with up to 100% prevalence. However, it is believed that Timoniella sp. is unlikely to help regulate populations of the introduced Eurasian ruffe.

Field
|
A relationship between resistance to anoxia in Eurasian ruffe and its parasite load has been observed, such that increased richness of parasites, including Timoniella sp., negatively affects the ruffe's ability to survive low-oxygen conditions.

Species of Timoniella have been documented to occur in gobies outside the Great Lakes. It is not known how the presence of these parasites might affect nonnative fish population dynamics and competitive interactions with native fishes in the Great Lakes.
