Studies also indicate that roach in the Russian and Navarro rivers grow much faster and attain in excess of 45 mm SL by the first year, 69-70 mm by the second year, and 80-90 mm by the third (Moyle 1976).
Furthermore, unlike in the Sierra foothill streams where roach abundance is negatively correlated with other species (Moyle and Nichols 1974), in the Pit River there is a positive correlation between the abundance of roach and that of other native fishes.
This roach has apparently disappeared from much of its former range in the upper Pit River drainage (Moyle and Daniels 1982) and is confined to a few scattered populations such as Willow Creek, tributary to Goose Lake.

Roach as a competitor with juvenile perch may severely limit the recruitment of perch to large piscivorous stages in the absence of vegetated habitats (Persson and Crowder, 1998).
Fish have feedback effects on vegetation by their direct consumption of vegetation and indirectly via other trophic components or abiotic routes such as sediment-feeding induced turbidity.

 Assessing the Sensitivity of Different Life Stages for Sexual Disruption in Roach (Rutilus rutilus) Exposed to ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Roach were exposed as embryos from fertilization up to 300 days posthatch (dph ; to include the period of gonadal sex differentiation) or as postspawning adult males, and including fish that had received previous estrogen exposure, for either 60 or 120 days when the annual event of germ cell proliferation occurs.
Depuration studies (maintenance of fish in clean water after exposure to WwTW effluent) confirmed that the feminization of the reproductive duct was permanent.
In wild adult roach that had previously received exposure to estrogen and were intersex, the degree of intersex increased during the study period, but this was not related to the immediate effluent exposure, suggesting a previously determined programming of ovotestis formation.
