Triplophysa orientalis (Herzenstein, 1888)
|
Triplophysa orientalis is a species of stone loach.[2] It is a freshwater fish from the Tibetan Plateau and is endemic to China; its distribution includes the upper reaches of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, among others. It lives in a wide range of habitats, both lentic and lotic. The species is widespread but populations tend to be isolated and show high degree of genetic divergence.[3]
