First observed: 1962 (Gasiunas 1964)
Taxon: Crustacea
Origin: Ponto-Caspian
Vector of introduction: stocking
Distribution in the Baltic Sea: Curonian Lagoon, Gulf of Finland, Odra Lagoon, Vistula Lagoon
Species status: established
Salinity in native habitats: Limnetic (Birshtein et al. 1968; Dediu 1980)
Salinity in the Baltic Sea: Limnetic (Arbaciauskas 2002; Jazdzewski, Konopacka 2002; Grabowski et al. 2006)
Ecofunctional group: nekto-benthic invertebrates
Ecological impact: benthic-pelagic interaction (Zaiko, Olenin 2004), community dominance (Grabowski et al. 2006; Daunys, Oleninas 1999; Jazdzewski, Konopacka 2000), competition (Jazdzewski et al. 2001; Jazdzewski, Konopacka 2002; Arbaciauskas 2005), food-prey (Bubinas 1996), herbivory (Berezina et al. 2005; Berezina, Panov 2004), hybridization (Dediu 1980), predation (Arbaciauskas 2005; Orlova et al. 2006; Berezina, Panov 2004), transfer of parasites and diseases (Boshko 1994; Balcescu-Codreanu 1974)
