Stenogobius keletaona

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Stenogobius keletaona faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its limited freshwater stream systems. Agricultural runoff and sedimentation from land-use changes threaten the clear, fast-flowing waters this goby requires for survival. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental disturbances and water quality deterioration.
