They don't harm a fishery, they destroy it... Yes after the Gobies are established, predators will eat them and get big and fat.. However, the Gobies are present in such huge swarms, nothing can reproduce.. They are relentless, and eat the eggs or fry of EVERYTHING.. Its a horror story. Sunnies, perch, bass rock bass, trout.. I mean everything is impacted.. only way gobies would be ok is on a 100% enclosed lake with NO inlets or outlets, with a fish population thats stocked and no natural reproduction.. Even then I would not do it.. They have destroyed fishing in NY state in a lot of places..bob
