Comments

Known from Beijiang (Ref. 41215) and Zhujiang river systems of Guangdong Province and water systems of Hainan Province (Ref. 41215). Circumstancial evidence points to the species as the cause of the reduction of some native fish populations upon its introduction (prey on small fish and harass and nip fins of larger ones) (Ref. 44142). Also Ref. 26563, 85799.
