- Zebra mussels and round goby invaded the Great Lakes decades ago. Since then, these non-native species have impacted the existing ecosystem. But now scientists are finding native species are benefiting in some ways from their presence.

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
Well done nicely documented and presented plus very interesting. Thank you!!!
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.
Very nice summary of some of the issues and excellent video footage of the feeding behaviors of round gobies and predator fish.
Well rounded documentary 👏
Instead of being bias super awesome!
Very interesting!
The bass at 5:58 was like "Welcome to the crib, lets see whats in the fridge!"
Introduced species are not always "invasive" and as this video shows, can have a positive impact over time.
Awesome video.I was wondering why the perch fishing has gotten better lately on Lake Michigan.
The study of water bodies on earth deserves at least as much attention as study of the outer space.
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.
Very interesting, With all of our concern it is nature that adjusts itself.
So what should fisherman do with the gobies? Leave them out for the birds to have or release them?
If there was a way to raise small mouth bad exclusively on goby's and release them to the lake to pass their knowledge to other fish
The less we react to these invaders the better off the great lakes will be.
If you like hearing the positive truth about the big lie of " invasive species " please read The New Wild by Fred Pearce. You will learn from EVERY paragraph with no filler!
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 from beautiful California and this is cool
