        Background and aim: The aim of this research was an introduce and identification of biotic characterizes of round goby (Neogobius melanostomus). The species was an exotic species with a large distribution in the world and often lived on shallow waters. Material and methods: Morphology, life history, reproduction, habitat preferences, environmental tolerances, parasites, environmental effects and sampling strategies were also discussed in this study. Results: Special size in each age on the species is depended to environmental condition in each area. The use ability of different food resources, the live ability of different regional, fast growth and resilient ability in environmental changes are some aggressive cases of this species. Discussion and Conclution: With regarding to special condition of freshwater ecosystems in Iran, we have to study the ecological and biological characterizes of exotic species such as Gobiidae and then we manage the population growth to conserve the important ecosystems.
