| Impact Description | No specific parasites were registered. Only the acanthocephalan Pomphorhynchus tereticollis was found in high numbers and occurred in both seasons,
all other parasites occurring sporadically. ... complies with the predictions of the ‘enemy release hypothesis’.
All parasite species were probably acquired in the upper Elbe itself. According to the ‘parasite spillback’
concept, round goby could potentially play an important role in P. tereticollis distribution in the Elbe. |
