Abstract
We report the first records of Amur goby,
Rhinogobius lindbergi and the Chinese false gudgeon,
Abbottina rivularis from the Lake Buyr drainage of eastern Mongolia. Both species were previously known only from much farther downstream in the Amur River basin. Because of their abundance at three sites separated by 11 km in Lake Buyr and a tribuary stream, and presence of multiple size classes, we strongly suspect that these species are established. Both species have been widely dispersed outside of the Amur River basin as contaminants in cultured, large-bodied cyprinids (
Ctenopharyngodon, Hypophthalmichthys, Parabramis), and we suggest that this is the most likely means of their introduction into Lake Buyr. The long-term impacts of these species on the native ichthyofauna are unknown, but unlikely to be positive. We suggest that immediate measures be taken to monitor their dispersal, and to prevent similar introductions in the future.
