FBname: Heavy lips fish
Comments: Juveniles are found in the littoral zone of the lakes and streams, while the adults inhabit the
  middle and lower water layers of the lakes.  Individuals return from the lake to streams to spawn in June; parental fishes spawn several times from July to September every year. The  males dig pits with their anal fin rays and lay the eggs in the pit.  Threatened by habitat degradation, water pollution, over-exploitation and invasion of exotic species (most notably, <i>Micropercops swinhonis</i>) (Ref. 89909).
