Abstract
The ecological characteristics of the eight-barbel loach Lefua tokaiensis Ito, Hosoya, and Miyazaki were elucidated. Ecological field research was conducted at two localities: the montane stream of Houraiji and the Arao River of the Toyo River system in the Tokai region of Japan. The two localities showed high population density of L. tokaiensis, consisting of young-to-aged individuals. Loaches were likely to reproduce and migrate both upstream and downstream throughout year. Their lifespan was over 10 years, and loaches of more than ten generations simultaneously lived together. Growth rates slowed down strikingly with increasing age. The montane stream of Houraiji was suitable for the population of L. tokaiensis. The results of this study contribute to the protection of this endangered species.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
