Osmerus eperlanus became the dominant fish species in Lake Syamozero, displacing the native vendace Coregonus albula due to food competition. Food web dynamics shifted from zooplankton-vendace-predators to zooplankton-smelt-pikeperch

Introduced Osmerus eperlanus in a Norwegian lake likely contributed to an increased abundance of small prey fish for brown trout, whose diet shifted earlier to piscivory with a more pelagic focus and thus benefited from increased growth rate. Ultimately, European smelt shifted the food web and fish community in the lakes from a littoral to a more pelagic base

The European smelt Osmerus eperlanus was accidentally introduced (in or before 1968) into the ecosystem of the Syamozero lake in Karelia (north-western Russia). The population of this species has reached a high density and caused serious changes in the structure and trophic relationships of the fish community of the Syamozero ecosystem.
