Remarks

Freshwater and brackish. Incomplete data.
For Orsi & al. (1983, p.357) this species native of the rivers of mainland China was found in 1978 in California's Sacramento-San Joaquin Estuary, abundant and may be regarded as well established. The introduction occurred a relatively short time. The most probable mode of introduction in ballast water from Japanese freighters previously docking in China, which discharge into San Francisco Bay.
