Restricted to northeastern Taiwan: Yilan County (Taiyangpi and rare in Shuanglienpi) and in New Taipei City (Gongliao, Ruyi Lake and Taiping). The invasive poeciliid fish (such as Gambusia affinis or mosquitofish and Xiphophorus hellerii or green swordtail) contributed the most to the decline of the Chinese ricefish population and its genetic diversity (Ref. 127481). Status of threat: Endangered. |
