Neogobius melanostomus have a significant overlap in diet preference with many native fish species, suggesting that it competes with Rainbow Darter (Etheostoma caeruleum), Logperch (Percina caprodes), and Northern Madtom (Noturus stigmosus) for small macroinvertebrates due to dietary overlap.

Neogobius melanostomus may compete with and have the potential to affect other benthic fishes throughout the Great Lakes including darters (Etheostoma spp., Percina spp.), sculpins (slimy sculpin Cottus cognatus, deepwater sculpin Myoxocephalus thompsoni), and madtoms (Noturus spp.).

Proterorhinus semilunaris have been present at this site since 1998 and became the dominant fish along the shoreline zone in 2000 (PrĂ¡?sek and Jurajda, 2005). Round goby were first recorded at this site in 2008 (Lusk et al., 2010) and soon reached high abundance, overtaking
Proterorhinus semilunaris in 2011 (P. Jurajda, unpublished data).

This agressive nature probably allows them to occupy optimal sites among
rocks and to defend spawning sites, thus preventing native species access
to prime areas.

its reproductive pattern confers
an ecological advantage on this species. Round gobies spawn over a long
period of time so it can take advantage of optimal temperature and food conditions. It is a repeat spawner, spawning every 20 days or so, and males of this species protect their nests (under rocks, logs, cans)
vigorously.

Aggressive round gobies probably drive a guarding male mottled sculpin off its nest and eat its eggs or YOY. Evidence from our studies suggests that this may be the case, since the one large mottled sculpin we had
with a number of round gobies was always sitting on top of a rock in the aquarium.

This competitive interaction would be most intense at small sizes, since both species are benthivorous
at sizes up to around 60 mm; at larger sizes round gobies eat mainly mollusks. In addition, round gobies have a reactive distance to Daphnia equal to or better than mottled
sculpins.

In the years following the arrival in 2011 of N. melanostomus in the River Meuse, a rapid decline
in native C. perifretum average density from twenty to one individual per 100 m2 was observed, most likely due to predation and competition for
shelter and/or food.

Neogobius melanostomus was able to displace the resident fish. The higher aggression of N. melanostomus in shelter competition could account
for greater invasive success and the reduction of P. semilunaris observed in the wild.
