Description
Machine-translatedThis English description was machine-translated and may contain inaccuracies. Refer to the original Korean text for details.
The Golden mandarin fish (Siniperca scherzeri) is a freshwater fish exceeding 60 cm in body length. Its shape is similar to the mandarin fish (쏘가리) but flatter and distinguished by its golden coloring. The Golden mandarin fish inhabits the Han River region (Paldang, Gwangnauru, Cheongpyeongwon, Soyang River, and upper South Han River) and the Imjin River area as primary habitats. Being a rare species found exclusively in the Han River basin worldwide, it is designated and protected as a natural monument to preserve its unique genetic resources.
