This species was introduced into European Russia, where it is an invasive species dispersing from the Moscow and Nizhnii Novgorod regions through small bodies of water and eliminating indigenous fish species (Ref. 26334). In Amur, this species is historically known from the middle and lower Amur (from Tygda Rive down to the estuary) with tributaries Zeya, Sungari, Ussuri and the Khanka Lake basin. Reported from Shilka in the upper Amur where it is introduced (Ref. 82587). This species is also reported from the St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad regions (Ref. 26334) and northwestern Sakhalin (Ref. 37812). Dissections of specimens collected from Lake Glubokoe Reserve show that they consume a wide range of animal prey (Ref. 80031). They have been causing the decline of macroinvertebrates, non noxious (tadpoles) amphibians and indigenous fish in the area (Ref. 80031, 80047). Colonization of the species in the Amur resulted to a decrease in native species. The species took the place of eliminated native fish species in the food web of the Amur inhabited by semi-aquatic snakes and became part of the parasite system which included the snakes (Ref. 93666). This is used as bait, one of the reasons why it is widely distributed in Russia (Ref. 80038). Also Ref. 13397, 27683, 80031, 92840, 92840. EurRus | |

This species inhabits most of the lower Amur River Basin, partly its middle and the upper current up to the Never River, possibly even further to the upper reaches. It lives in certain rivers falling into the southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk (the rivers Tugur and Uda; the Mukhtel River, and the Sea of Japan), as well as in rivers of the Amur lagoon and on the south to the Psyu River (inclusive) and the NW extremity of Sakhalin Island: the Bolshaya, Bolshoi Vagis, Bolshaya Nelma, Bolshoi Nyavan, Volchanka, Glukharevka, Irkyr, Komulan, Langry, Pilvo, Pyrki, Sladkaya, Tengi, Uangi. Its southern border in the Amur Basin is the tributaries of the rivers Ussuri and probably the Sungari. At the north, the range of the Lower Amur grayling is limited by the rivers Tugur and Uda. Unlike other graylings of Siberia, it is absent in mountain lakes. It is sympatric with the nominative subspecies T. grubii grubii in the basin of the Middle and partly the Upper Amur, in upper reaches of all its large tributaries (the Amgun, Anyui, Bikin, Gur, Kur, Khor), as well as in rivers Tugur and Uda.
