The bone-lipped Yellow River fish is endemic to my country. It is only distributed in the upper reaches of the Yellow River above Longyang Gorge in Qinghai Province and its tributaries Baihe River and Heihe River.
This species has a narrow distribution. It originally existed in a certain number in Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake in Qinghai Province and has certain economic value. In recent years, due to overfishing, the limited distribution, slow growth and late maturity of this species, its resources have been affected and declined, and its number has decreased significantly.
