The distribution pattern of species is determined by the environment and their adaptability to environment. Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has become a natural laboratory for studying adaptive evolution due its extreme environmental characteristics such as low temperature, oxygen, high salinity ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Fish are sensitive stress, so they ideal materials high-altitude adaptation anima...
