Ecology Summary - Euchiloglanis longibarbatus

Language:

Main Ref.	Zhou, W., X. Li and A.W. Thomson, 2011
Remarks	The reaches where the types were collected are steep with dangerous shoals. The river bed is about 20 m width with cobblestones and rock substrate. The current is rapid and water is clear. According to villagers, Euchiloglanis longibarbatus n. sp. preys on other small fishes. They also feed on aquatic insects and small snails. Remains of small fishes were found in the intestines of dissected Euchiloglanis longibarbatus n. sp. specimens. When collecting specimens, we fished them by angleworms and aquatic insects. Adults spawn in apertures of the river bottom in May to June and the eggs are viscous (Ref. 86867).
