Very nice summary of some of the issues and excellent video footage of the feeding behaviors of round gobies and predator fish.

It is interesting how there seems to be a tenancy toward a balance in nature. An overabundance of mussels gets offset by another species that eats them, when in turn fattens the native species.

Awesome video.I was wondering why the perch fishing has gotten better lately on Lake Michigan.

I used to go to Lake Michigan a good bit as a kid and always remembered the water being really green. Then I left for the army and moved around a lot before ending up back in my hometown and was blown away by how clear Lake Michigan is now

Just an FYI... Goby are good to eat. Nothing wrong with them. No fish smell and very little bones. Better than bluegill. Just descale them, gut them, skewer them on flower and salt and pan fry them. Perfect!

Except that they eat almost exclusively zebra and quagga mussles, which filter all of the toxins and heavy metals from the water. If the water is really clean maybe, but otherwise they are chock full of chemicals

You think they'd be similar to sardines for fisheries, just watched a video that said that they are a carrier of avian botulism and they eat something that is connected to the zebra mussels and when loons or other diving birds eat them they die from the avian botulism, double whammy with gobies and mussels

@@ashtonwells12 I've ate them since I was a kid. But there are other goby like fish... Maybe cousin species that are poisonous.

Great video, very fascinating how the Round Goby helps control the Quaga Mussel population while keeping the Smallmouth and Lake trout chunky

Be interesting to see if mussel populations improve Sturgeon populations as well. Studies to date show their stomach contents containing a good percentage of these newer invaders.

So what should fisherman do with the gobies? Leave them out for the birds to have or release them?

That's why you shouldn't allow any ships that come into the Great Lakes to empty their ballast tanks once you're in what water you have in your tanks is what you have and that is it

Introduced species are not always "invasive" and as this video shows, can have a positive impact over time.

I mean it's not all roses. The smallmouth that are eating the gobies are also having issues reproducing as the gobies eat their eggs, and perch populations are dropping due to the competition.

That new species tend to come into balance over time doesn’t mean the system is better off overall, or that you don’t lose anything important along the way.

I'm in Minnesota and recall the hype over zebra mussels and felt similar to you and will read the book you mentioned but just found out that they transmit avian botulism to diving predatory birds that eat these gobies which eat something from the zebra mussels which then kills the birds. Buckthorn removal is a big hyped thing here also and appreciate when it's gone but they've now changed the rules so that you cannot access a tool to rip the buckthorn out of the ground instead it's supposed to be beheaded and then herbicided which is what it is but it leaves a stump, the rationale from the nature experts in government said that by disturbing the ground when ripping out the stump too much chance of invasive other species dropping in, obsessive governmental disorder on display
