Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: The source of Matano lake is assumed to come from an area west of the lake (known as Matano village). This species is found around Lake Mantano under roots and logs on sand.
Systems: Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The present and future threats to this species include human induced habitat loss/degradation due to population increases and industrial and agrarian development. There is a small mining town (Soroako/Sorowako) close to lake Mantano which could influence water quality in the future. The shores of Lake Matano contain large deposits of nickel. Mining for this metal causes pollution and destroys habitat. Commercial fishing, development, and the introduction of non-native species are among other threats to this ecoregion (WWF 200 Global Ecoregion homepage).
