Conservation status
Anthropogenic activities, such as river development and water pollution, have caused a rapid decline in L. obesus populations. The species has been protected by the Endangered Species Act, under Korean law, since 2005 and was classified as endangered (EN) in the Red Data Book of endangered fishes in Korea in 2012.[1]
