Living P. esocinus specimens were collected by a cast net from Nakagawa River, Fukuoka Prefecture, Kyushu Island, Japan. Four easily distinguishable behavioural phases were recognised during the spawning sequence;

Phase1, male nuzzling to the female's body or face
Phase2, male pursuing a swimming female
Phase3, pair or trio trembling while swimming
Phase4, spawning (scattering eggs and sperm) near the water surface
