Gorging on gobies: beneficial effects of alien prey on a threatened vertebrate (2006, background): “As noted earlier, round gobies reach remarkable densities in western Lake Erie (Johnson et al. 2005) and thus provide an abundant food source.”
Invasion success and impact of an invasive fish, round goby, in Great Lakes tributaries (2013, background): “Johnson et al. (2005) reported round goby densities ranging from 0.62 fish m 2 in sandy habitat to 6.94 fish m 2 in rocky habitat in western Lake Erie, while Taraborelli et al. (2009) reported densities from 0.63 to 3.88 fish m 2 across depth and substrate gradients in the Bay of Quinte, Lake…”
Effects of Round Gobies (Neogobius melanostomus) on Dreissenid Mussels and Other Invertebrates in Eastern Lake Erie, 2002–2004 (2005, background): “Our visual estimates of 6.5 round gobies/m2 in 2001, and 9 to 14 round gobies/m2 in 2002 at Peacock Point are almost certainly conservative even though they are larger than estimates based on underwater video observations made in the west basin in the same year by Johnson et al. (2005) .”
Sampling a Littoral Fish Assemblage: Comparison of Small-Mesh Fyke Netting and Boat Electrofishing (2007, background): “Johnson et al. (2005) found that pot gears (e.g., minnow traps) performed poorly for capturing round gobies.”
Demography and Substrate Affinity of the Round Goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in Hamilton Harbour (2010, result): “Previous studies have suggested that minnow traps have a low catch rate compared to other sampling methods (Johnson et al., 2005).”
