The topmouth gudgeon Pseudorasbora parva, is a small non-native coarse fish from Asia, introduced to the UK from mainland Europe in 1984, and first formally identified at a fish farm in Hampshire in 1986. Following introduction, the species spread, through a number of routes including fish farm movements and the ornamental fish trade, invading stillwater sites across England and Wales. 23 populations have been formally identified from Cumbria and Yorkshire in the North of England, to the Midlands, South Wales, and from Devon to Sussex in the South of England.
