The Round Goby is named for its distinctive, rounded body shape, which differentiates it from other species within the goby family. This fish is characterized by its large, bulbous head and a streamlined body that tapers towards the tail, giving it a somewhat rounded appearance. Additionally, the name "goby" refers to its classification within the Gobiidae family, which encompasses various species known for their small size and unique morphological features.

there are 2 theories. some people think they came in ballast water tanks but some people think that it was brought here on purpose because the Round Goby eats the Zebra Mussel(another invasive specie) and the Zebra mussel was in the Great Lakes first so people think that someone brought them here to take care of the zebra mussel invasion but as it turns out, the Round Goby became invasive as well and sorta helped the "zebra mussel invasion".
