The known metazoa parasite fauna of the invasive round goby Apollonia melanostoma (formerly Neogobius melanostomus) consists of 12 species. The core of the parasite fauna comprises two species: Cryptocotyle concavum and Diplostomum spathaceum; secondary species are absent; satellite species include Cercariae gen. sp. and Ergasilus sieboldi; rare species are Acanthocephalus lucii, Anguillicola crassus, Bothriocephalus sp., Dichelyne minutus, Hysterothylacium aduncum, Pomphorhynchus laevis…

The colonization of the invasive round goby Neogobius melanostomus by parasites in new localities in the southwestern Baltic Sea

The round goby Neogobius melanostomus is a bottom-dwelling fish native for the Ponto-Caspian basin, which started to colonize the Baltic Sea since 1991, and the processes of colonization have the same tendency as in the Gulf of Gdańsk.

Parasites of Apollonia melanostoma (Pallas 1814) and Neogobius kessleri (Guenther 1861) (Osteichthyes, Gobiidae) from the Danube River in Austria.

During this survey metacercariae of the Holarctic digenean Bucephalus polymorphus, encysted in the skin and fins, were recorded for the first time in Austria.

Invasive Ponto-Caspian Amphipods and Fish Increase the Distribution Range of the Acanthocephalan Pomphorhynchus tereticollis in the River Rhine

Insight is given into a potential parasite-host system that consists mainly of invasive species, such as the Ponto-Caspian fish and amphipods in the Rhine, which discusses prospective distribution and migration pathways of non-indigenous vertebrate (round goby) and invertebrates (amphipods) under special consideration of parasite dispersal.

Survey on the metazoan parasites in Neogobius fishes from Southeastern part of the Caspian Sea

It is indicated that there are significant relations between total length and weight in N. fluviatilis pallasi and N. bathybius the lowest variety in infection with various species of parasites.

The Gyrodactylus (Monogenea, Gyrodactylidae) parasite fauna of freshwater sand gobies (Teleostei, Gobioidei) in their centre of endemism, with description of seven new species

From five sand goby species, the first parasites are reported, describing seven new Gyrodactylus species, and some new flatworm species display unique morphological features, which reflect their hosts' endemism in the Balkans.

Expansion, Feeding and Parasites of the Round Goby, Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas, 1811), a recent invader in the Curonian Lagoon, Lithuania

The quantitative food content analysis in the northern part of the Curonian Lagoon suggests that during their first year of life N. melanostomus juveniles rely on chironomid larvae, ostracods and amphipods, while beginning with the second year oflife, mussels, zebra mussels in particular, constitute over a half of their diet.

Parasitization of invasive gobiids in the eastern part of the Central trans-European corridor of invasion of Ponto-Caspian hydrobionts

The species accumulation curves show stable accumulation of parasite species by all four fish hosts along the studied part of the corridor, from the Dnieper Estuary to the Vistula River delta, and reveals that the studied gobies lose the parasites common in the host native range and accept new parasites from the colonized area.

Parasite infection of the non-indigenous round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in the Baltic Sea

Investigating parasite communities and infection rates of the non-indigenous round goby Neogobius melanostomus in two localities in the NE Baltic Sea revealed that infection intensity was positively linked to total body length and parasite species richness, and was on average 2.7 individuals higher in summer and autumn than in winter and spring.

The Parasite Fauna of the Round Goby Neogobius melanostomus (Perciformes, Gobiidae) in the Kuybyshev Reservoir (Middle Volga)

Abstract The fauna of multicellular parasites of the round goby Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas, 1814) was studied in three reaches of the Kuybyshev Reservoir. Ten species and forms of parasites…

Parasites of the fish Cichla piquiti (Cichlidae) in native and invaded Brazilian basins: release not from the enemy, but from its effects

The results did not support the idea that the escape from parasites favoured the establishment of C. piquiti in the PR, and the Escape from the parasites' effects seems a better explanation, and further studies examining effects on host physiology and/or fitness in the native and introduced ranges are needed.

The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is a non-indigenous species in the Baltic Sea, introduced to its waters (the Gulf of Gdańsk) from the Black, Azov, and Caspian Seas, and the parasitic fauna of this fish is not yet complete.

The ichthyofauna of the Black Sea is comparatively poor and includes about 200 species; typical representatives of this group are: Mesogobius batrachocephalus (Pallas, 1811); ACTA ICHTHYOLOGICA ET PISCATORIA (2005) 35 (2): 103–110.

Parasite communities of the Salzhaff (Northwest Mecklenburg, Baltic Sea). I. Structure and dynamics of communities of littoral fish, especially small-sized fish

The theory of empty niches propagated by some parasitologists is critically discussed and substituted by the assumption of variable niche widths for the main causes of the infestation of fish hosts may be their ages and the availability of parasites due to the presence of intermediate hosts.

The parasite infracommunity of five goby species from the south-western Baltic was investigated during spring, summer and autumn of the years 1997–2000; most intensity of infestation values peaked in summer and were lowest in autumn; only a few exceptions were found in spring or autumn.

Invasion Genetics of Ponto-Caspian Gobies in the Great Lakes: A ‘Cryptic’ Species, Absence of Founder Effects, and Comparative Risk Analysis

Results show that a diverse number of haplotypes characterize round and tubenose goby populations from both North America and Eurasian sites, fitting a risk analysis prediction of high genetic variability in their successful introductions.

The life cycle of Dichelyne (Cucullanellus) minutus (Nematoda: Cucullanidae).

Experimental infections showed that larvae >600 microm long and provided with achitinous tooth survived in flounder and common goby, suggesting that theFlounder may acquire the parasite also by devouring infected gobies.

The round goby Neogobius melanostomus first recorded in the Netherlands.

In December 2004 two specimens of round goby were caught in the river Lek near Schoonhoven (The Netherlands), which is a first record of this invasive Ponto-Caspian fish in the North Sea basin.
