 NaturalizationThis species is not yet naturalised in Belgium.
Establishment potential in Belgium : high
It is already invasive in : Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, Ukraine
Invasiveness
More on naturalization and invasiveness: Amur sleeper is a very successful invader of the aquatic communities in estuaries and shallow lentic water bodies densely grown with aquatic plants. It readily withstands low oxygen levels and eutrophication and is capable of surviving when frozen in ice. It may therefore persist in small waterbodies such as those used as breeding sites by amphibians.
Impacts on Species
Impacts on Ecosystems
More on impacts: Amur sleeper is an opportunistic feeder preying upon aquatic invertebrates, amhibians and small-sized fish, including its own young. The development of this fish in small water bodies leads to local extinctions of invertebrates and amphibians (Rana spp. and Triturus spp.). Amur sleeper presents also a serious threat to native fish species (e.g. Carassius carassius, Leucaspius delineatus, Umbra krameri) living in those habitats.
