Habitat of Golden Mandarin Fish

The golden mandarin fish is designated and protected as a natural monument under the name "Golden Mandarin Fish of the Hangang River", but because the boundaries of the managed area are unclear, management has been difficult, making it necessary to designate a specific habitat for effective protection. The waters above the Peace Dam in Hwacheon-gun, Gangwon State, support a large population of golden mandarin fish, and as this is a military area free of artificial disturbance to the habitat, it retains a very high degree of natural character.
