Charlebois, P. M., R. G. Goettel, D. J. Jude, J. E. Marsden, R. K. Wolfe and S. Rudnika (1997). The round goby, Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas), a review of European and North American literature. INHS, Special Publication 20.
When a nonindigenous species becomes established in a new area, the scientific community often is asked to predict potential ecological effects and range expansion of the species. In order to make these predictions, scientists must have basic biological information on the organism. This document provides the scientific community with basic biological information on the round goby, Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas), which entered North America in 1990. We have reviewed the currently available European and North American literature and compiled a comprehensive bibliography of goby literature, including annotations and abstracts. We also have included a listing and examples of outreach materials available on the round goby. We have not attempted to evaluate the material. Obvious typographical errors (e.g., misspellings) in the published abstracts have been corrected.
