In Yokohama City, in May 1976, it was confirmed that it inhabits Gonda Pond in Katsuta-cho, Tsuzuki-ku, and was deposited at the Prefectural Freshwater Fish Proliferation Test Station to avoid extinction due to development.
The test site succeeded in raising a large amount of fry in the fall of 1985.
