Onychostoma barbatulum (common name: Taiwan shovel-jaw carp) is a species of ray-finned fish in the Cyprinidae family. It can grow to 19 cm (7.5 in) SL, but commonly only to about half of that.[2]
Onychostoma barbatulum is found in Taiwan and in the Pearl River Basin of southern China. It is a herbivorous species that occurs in fast-flowing sections of rivers.[1] Its populations may be dramatically impacted by typhoon-related disturbance, in one documented case nearly extirpating a local population.[3]
