Abstract

The Dojo loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus), a freshwater species native to East Asia, has long intrigued researchers due to its unique biological and ecological characteristics. Despite its widespread use in both traditional and modern aquariums, as well as its significance in local ecosystems, many aspects of its physiology, behavior, and environmental adaptations remain poorly understood. This review explores the current state of research on the Dojo loach, highlighting its morphological traits, reproductive strategies, habitat preferences, and role within freshwater ecosystems. Additionally, we examine the species' remarkable ability to survive in low-oxygen environments and its potential applications in environmental monitoring and aquaculture. By synthesizing existing knowledge and identifying gaps in the literature, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Dojo loach and promote further investigation into its unique biological attributes and ecological contributions.
