Article Abstract

Brachymystax tsinlingensis Li, 1966 is revalidated and redescribed. It can be distinguished from all congeners by the following combination of characteristics: no spots on operculum; gill rakers 15-20; lateral-line scales 98-116; pyloric caeca 60-71. Unique morphological characters and genetic divergence of this species are discussed. This species has a limited distribution in several streams of the middle part of the Qinling Mountains in China. Methods for management and protection of B. tsinlingensis need to be re-evaluated.

The Qinling lenok Li, 1966, an endemic to China and South Korea, is a rare protected species. Its unique requirements to habitat have made this fish extraordinarily fragile when faced with human pressures and global warming. Hence, predicting and understanding the potential influence of human pressures and global warming on this fish's spatial distribution is quite critical for the conservation and management of the species.

This work explores the digestive system characteristics of during early developmental stages and aims to solve the problem of high lethality of fry during the transgression period, which is crucial for the artificial propagation and population conservation of endangered fishes. This study was carried out on intestinal tissue, digestive enzymes, and antioxidant enzyme activities in the early development stage of . Ten random samples during endogenous nutrition (7, 10, and 11 days after hatching), mixed nutrition (13 and 19 DAH), and exogenous nutrition (31, 33, 39, 45, and 73 DAH) were collected by histological and biochemical analysis methods.
