The pale chub (Zacco platypus), also known as pale bleak or fresh-water sprat, is one of the most extensively distributed Asiatic cyprinids and is found in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and most of Southeast China.^[2] This species of fish is native to freshwater rivers and mountainous streams from northern China and Korea to northern Vietnam.^[3] They can grow up to 20 centimetres (7.9 in) but usually grow to 13 centimetres (5.1 in).^[4] Its diet consists of zooplankton, invertebrates, fish, and debris. It is an invasive species in Taiwan.^[5] Zacco platypus is called Oikawa オイカワ（追河、Opsariichthys platypus) in Japan.
