The brown bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus (Lesueur, 1819) is recorded for the first time in the Neman river basin in Belarus.In August 2021, 41 specimens were caught in closed reservoir of the Novodvorka River (Novy Dvor village, Shchuchyn district, Grodno region), and 2 specimens were caught from closed reservoir of the Livanka River (Zasulye village, Stolbtsy district, Minsk region).Both rivers belong to the Neman river basin.In our opinion, the main reason for the origin of brown bullhead in the studied reservoirs is associated with intentional release in nature by anglers.
