Abstract
We collected the first rudd, Scardinius erythrophthalmus (Cyprinidae), from the New (Kanawha) River drainage, West Virginia. The rudd has no w been reported from 12 states (Arkansas, Kansas, Illinois, Massachuse tts, Maine, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wes t Virginia) and several major river systems. The rapid spread of the r udd has apparently been facilitated by bait dealers. Despite its wides pread distribution, there have been no investigations of potential int eractions with native aquatic fauna.
