2324 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Observational Field Study found larval helminths of Acanthocephalus dims, Diplostomum sp., and Eustrongylides sp. in Neogobius melanostomus in southern Lake Michigan indicating they have the potential to harbor native parasites. southern Lake Michigan 22991
2347 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Anecdotal Field Neogobius melanostomus introductions may also be a vector for the spread of avian botulism. At Lake Erie, botulism infected birds had been feeding more on Round Goby compared to uninfected birds. Lake Erie 19653
2348 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Experimental Laboratory Neogobius melanostomus may provide an entry point for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) into trophic webs. 27503
2360 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Experimental Laboratory Neogobius melanostomus may have lower lead (Pb) concentrations than traditional prey due to their consumption of zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) which efficiently excrete metals such as Pb. 24186
2361 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Experimental Laboratory As Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) continue to consume Neogobius melanostomus and their growth rates continue to increase, their Mercury (Hg) concentrations also may continue to increase, potentially increasing Hg contamination to humans consuming this important sport fish. Lake Erie 24186
2362 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Experimental Laboratory Before the invasion of round gobies, few dreissenid predators occurred in Lake Erie, keeping contaminants confined to the benthos. The invasion of the round goby has produced a new pathway through which these contaminants enter the food web. Our key finding was that Pb biodiminished whereas Hg biomagnified through the food web to top predators. 24186
2365 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Observational Field The Neogobius melanostomus was found to be a newly described host for the trematode Neoehasmus umbellus. Lake Erie 18625
2366 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Observational Field The Neogobius melanostomus is host to a number of metazoan parasites in the Great Lakes. 18398
2368 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Observational Laboratory Neogobius melanostomus is a primary vector for botulism neurotoxin to fish-eating birds. 24877
3632 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Anecdotal N/A Consumption of zebra mussels may also provide a conduit for the bioaccumulation of toxic substances, especially PCBS, which have been shown to accumulate in zebra mussels because of their extensive filtering activities (Secor et al., 1993; de Kock et al., 1993). Top predators which feed on round gobies would therefore be expected to accumulate increased quantities of PCBS over previous accumulation patterns. 22782
3688 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Observational Field 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. River Elbe 34322
3694 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Observational Field parasites include Nicolla skrjabini, Phyllodistomum folium, Holostephanous cobitidis, Diplostomum spp., Tylodelphys clavata, Paracoenogonimus ovatus, Apatemon gracilis, Apharhyngostrigea cornu Saratov Reservoir 34333
3698 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Experimental Laboratory high natural infection parameters of B. polymorphus in native cyprinids and non-native gobies compared to data from the period prior to goby establishment. However, development in the definitive host of flukes recovered from gobies was reduced, showing higher mortality, delayed maturity and lower egg production, in comparison with parasites from native hosts. River Morova 34340
3699 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Observational Field Neogobius melanostomus was parasitized by 8 species, , half of which were in all 4 of the examined host species. Number of parasite species corresponded with the length of time the species had been present in the system, advantage gained from parasite release is mainly in the early stages of invasion and diminishes over a relatively short period River Rhine 34341
3702 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Observational Laboratory description of a new parasite - Loma acerinae - in round and tubenose goby in Dnieper River and Black Sea Dnieper River and Black Sea 34344
3819 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Observational Field the presence of the Ponto-Caspian monogenean Gyrodactylus proterorhini shows that the invasive gobiids did not lose all parasites, but introduced this new component to the fauna of the Baltic basin. Dnieper Estuary to the Vistula River delta 34926
3913 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Experimental Laboratory the present study demonstrates that PCB elimination in round and tubenose goby exhibited broadly similar PCB toxicokinetics as has been measured in other small fish species under limited growth and constant temperature conditions, although species differences in the rate of PCB elimination was evident Great Lakes, Detroit River 35034
3924 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Anecdotal Field author speculates shift from alewife to round goby may result in biomagnification of toxins via dreissenids->round goby -> lake trout Great Lakes, Lake Michigan 35109
3927 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Anecdotal N/A authors speculate biomagnification of toxins up the food chain from mussels to humans are a risk if round gobies are consumed by commercial fishes Gulf of Gdansk, Baltic Sea 35111
5505 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Experimental Laboratory Neogobius melanostomus is a transport vector for type E botulism to fish-eating birds. 19652
5568 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Anecdotal Laboratory 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). Rhine River and Main River, Germany 39671
5670 Neogobius melanostomus Disease/Parasite/Toxicity Observational Laboratory One round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) tested culture positive for toxin-producing C. botulinum type E. Lake Erie 33968
