The long wheat ear fish is endemic to my country. Distributed in Guilin, Yangshuo and other places in the Xijiang River system, as well as in Fuchun River in Zhejiang and Qiupu River in Anhui.
The population is small and almost no trace of it is found in the Lijiang River where it originated. Other distribution areas have also experienced changes in their living environment due to changes in hydrological conditions due to the construction of water conservancy projects. Furthermore, water pollution and the impact of poisonous and electric fish have caused the population to decrease. Now only a small number of individuals are found in some rivers in Zhejiang and Anhui.
