| Impact Description | Round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) presents a new intermediate host for parasites and provides a vector toward new final hosts at higher trophic levels. May facilitate the transfer of Acanthocephala (Pomphorhynchus sp.) to trout (Salmo trutta) and catfish (Silurus glanis) and Nematoda (Raphidascaris acus) to European perch (Perca fluviatilis) and pikeperch (Sander lucioperca). |
