20 Conclusions Settlement of non-indigenous round goby in the Gulf of Gdańsk was possible to predict Basing on obtained data from native regions it was impossible to predict the scale of invasion Round goby invasion in the Gulf of Gdańsk shows that unexpected/ unpredictable change in non-indigenous species behavior might promote successful invasion
