Round goby Nord-Ostsee (Kiel) Canal. As of 2010, the westernmost site of round goby occurrence in Europe was the Lower River Scheldt, the tidal zone in the river mouth, and Albert Canal, Belgium. In 2011, the round goby began invading the fresh waters of France: the species appeared in the Rhine River (on the border between France and Germany), and in the French part of the Moselle River. In total, 52 parasite species are registered in the round goby in the native area. Most abundant parasites of the Black-Sea round goby are metacercariae of trematodes of Heterophyidae family, such as "Cryptocotyle concavum",
