The species is also found in the Illistaya River and the Arsenjevka river (Primorsky Krai).[4]

Parasites

Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as the first intermediate host for the trematode Notocotylus intestinalis (natural infection).[4]

Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as an intermediate host for the trematode Psilotrema acutilostris.[5]

Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as the first intermediate host for the trematode Holostephanus nipponicus (experimental infection)[6] and for Echinochasmus spinosus (experimental infection).[7]

Parafossarulus spiridonovi serves as the second intermediate host for the trematode Sphaeridiotrema monorchis (experimental infection).[8]
