How does round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) affect fish abundance in the Swedish coastal areas of the Baltic Sea?

The presence of the round goby had a significant positive effect on the abundance of perch, cyprinids, piscivores, CPP, large perch (p < 0.01, and p < 0.001, Table 1 , Fig 2 ), and ruff (p < 0.01, Table 1 , Fig 3 ), and a significant negative effect on the abundance of flounder ( Fig 2 ) and whitefish (p < 0.05, Table 1 , Fig 3 ), although the effect on the flounder populations was only marginally significant (p = 0.06, Table 1 ).
