Goby. Catching a lot of gobies

These fish were fun to catch

🚨 Invasive Species Alert: The Round Goby is a small, bottom-dwelling invasive fish, native to the Black and Caspian seas in eastern Europe. It was first found in North America in 1990, in the St. Clair River north of Windsor, Ontario. Researchers believe the fish was brought to North America in the ballast water of ships from Europe. In less than a decade, the Round Goby has successfully spread through all five Great Lakes and has begun to invade inland waters. In some areas, the fish has reached densities of more than 100 fish per square metre of lake bottom nearshore.
