Biological Characteristics: Chinese barb is a benthic fish, active and likes to live in groups in flowing water with a rocky bottom. It overwinters in the deep pits and caves of main streams and tributaries, and starts to grow in tributaries in March. 3-year-old sexually mature, the parents go to the big and turbulent rivers to spawn when the water level rises in April-June, and the eggs float with the water to hatch. It is an omnivorous fish that takes aquatic plants as its main food; filamentous algae, insect larvae, freshwater shellfish, etc. are its feeding targets. ★Distribution: In the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in the dry and tributary streams, and occasionally in the middle reaches of the river.

Onychostrongylus spp. Common species include the white snapper, Sichuan white snapper, and Yunnan white snapper.

Morphological characters: body fusiform, laterally compressed, dorsum elevated in front of dorsal fin, caudal peduncle slender. Mouth inferior; mandible with sharp angular anterior margin. The posterior lip groove is limited to the corners of the mouth with the whiskers reduced, and only juveniles under 10 centimeters in length have two or one pair of whiskers. ★ Habits: The white snapper mostly inhabits the more turbulent currents and gravelly substrates of rivers, and prefers to swim in the bottom layer of water. Every year, before and after the rainy season, groups of upstream, before and after the fall, they follow the river and downstream, wintering in the deep water of the main stream of the river in the pile of rocks. The rocks on the ingrown algae, part-time feeding feeding intensity is the greatest in March-April, winter and breeding season are generally little or stop feeding. It reaches sexual maturity at the age of 3 and has a long spawning period, from April to June in the Yangtze River Basin and from February to March in the Pearl River Basin. The spawning grounds are mostly gravel and sandy beaches with fast-flowing water, and the eggs are attached to the gravel under the water for incubation. Distribution: The white snapper is distributed in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the Pearl River and the Yuanjiang River. Onychosotoma gerlachi belongs to the genus Onychosotoma gerlachi in the order Cypriniformes, family Carpidae, subfamily Barbidae.

Dorsal fin with stiff spines, its posterior margin strongly serrate. Body silvery white, back dark gray; dorsal and pectoral fins gray, ventral and anal fins orange-red. ★Life Habits:The southern white snapper mostly inhabits the clear water and rocky bottom section of the river, and is a lower-middle layer fish in the river, feeding mainly on the attached algae, and also eating a small amount of branches and horns, rotifers, and fragments of higher plants.The gonads start to mature at the age of 1 winter, and all of them are ripe at the age of 2 weeks, and the parents spawn their eggs in the rivers and streams in April and May at the rocky beaches where the water flow is smooth. ★Distribution: The southern white snapper is distributed in the Pearl River, Yuanjiang River, Lancang River and Hainan Island water systems
