Ecology of Chimarrichthys longus
 
Main Ref. Zhou, W., X. Li and A.W. Thomson, 2011
Remarks The reaches where specimens were collected are floodplain, about 30 m width with sand and rock substrate. Because rainfall concentrates in May to August in the area of Dujiangyan City, the floodwater falls back rapidly and frequently. In the rainy season the current is turbid and rapid. Euchiloglanis kishinouyei feeds mainly on aquatic insects and their larvae. According to villagers, adults spawn in apertures of the river bottom in May to June and the eggs are viscous (Ref. 86867).
