EOL Text
Asia: China to eastern Siberia (Amur River system, Ref. 1441). Widely transported around the world (Ref. 7248). Persists only in Europe by stocking (Ref. 59043). Introductions often brought with it the parasitic tapeworm Bothriocephalus opsarichthydis (synonym of B. acheilognathi) (Ref. 12217). Several countries report adverse ecological impact after introduction.

Global Range: Native to Amur basin and flatland rivers of eastern Asia. Introduced in many localities in United States for control of aquatic vegetation. Widespread and increasing in lower and middle Mississippi Valley, spotty elsewhere. Natural reproduction has been recorded in the Mississippi, Missouri, Trinity (Texas), Red, and Washita (Oklahoma) rivers (Hargrave and Gido 2004).

Factores ambientales que fomentan la reproducción
La reproducción se lleva a cabo en verano, ocasionada por el aumento en los niveles de agua de 20 cm o más y temperatura del agua de 20° C aproximadamente (GISD, 2005).
Edad de primera reproducción
Los machos alcanzan la madurez sexual alrededor de los 2 años, mientras que las hembras tardan alrededor de tres (Cudmore &Mandrak, 2004. Froese &Pauly, 2011).
4.5 Reproducción
Oviparos con fertilización externa. Los huevecillos son pelágicos y flotan a la deriva en la corriente. Deben permanecer suspendidos durante la incubación y son altamente dependientes de un flujo de oxígeno por lo que generalmente requieren de tramos largos en ríos de aguas turbulentas. Debido a estas condiciones necesarias para desovar, no son capaces de reproducirse en muchos de los hábitats donde han sido introducidos (Froese &Pauly, 2011).
