溪流河床是底棲型鰕虎生存以及繁衍後代的重要場所，鰕虎利用石頭底部的空間作為產卵以及護幼的地點。面臨人為活動的影響，有些工程行為無可避免，如同河川的疏濬將會使河床表面的天然巢位一併帶走，此時底棲型鰕虎的生存空間被受限制，繁衍後代的棲所也大幅減少，倘若能設計一種適合鰕虎選用產卵的人造棲地，便可以替鰕虎營造臨時的繁殖空間，順利度過環境尚未恢復的一段時期。
本研究集結過去與短吻紅斑吻鰕虎有關的資訊，設計利於此物種繁殖的人造棲地，擺放於屏東縣萬巒鄉五溝水地區的溪流環境中進行實驗，在一號水門下游、三合水、五福橋下游、竹林旁四個區域進行棲地高度的量測、水質因子的調查、伏流水狀態的測定以及了解底質粒徑的分佈。運用調查結果透過統計方法了解目標物種在使用人造棲地繁殖時的環境偏好，藉此了解如何選點進行擺放以及使用人造棲地須注意的相關事宜。
在統計檢定與棲地高度的使用情況之中，皆發現鰕虎偏好選用較低的空間作為產卵的地點；主成份分析以及統計檢定相互驗證的結果中，發現目標物種選用人造棲地進行產卵時，偏好高溫、高溶氧的環境；亦透過四次調查的結果，了解在溪流環境中應該避開低溶氧的地區，若在自然巢位鮮少的瀨區進行人造棲地的擺放，可以得到更好的使用結果；也驗證了人造棲地的斜板設計，可以在泥砂掩埋的情況底下，為鰕虎留下足以繁殖的棲地空間。在調查的過程當中發現了鰕虎卵於前期與後期有不同分佈、鰕虎在特殊的位置進行產卵、有多組卵產於同一塊人造棲地等等的現象。

The persecution of engineering behavior often affects the breeding space of benthic gobies. If we can create a temporary shelter suitable for the gobies, we can contribute to ecological preservation. This study gathers information related to Rhinogobius rubromaculatus, designs artificial habitats that are beneficial to this species, and conducts experiments in a stream environment in the Wu-Gou-Shui area of Wanluan Township, Pingtung County. The content includes the height of the habitat, the factor of water quality, the measurement of the state of the hyporheic flow, and the distribution of the particle size of substrate. The results of survey which was analyzed with statistical analysis showed environmental preferences of the target species in the use of artificial habitats. With this result, it would be much accurate to choose and place artificial habitats. The results showed that the height of the habitat used by the gobies to be used for spawning was mostly within double of their height. The gobies preferred to breed at the higher temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration in the stream environment; and avoiding the point where the dissolved oxygen concentration is low, placing the artificial habitat on the riffle area is conducive to the breeding of the gobies. The results also confirmed that the design of the artificial habitat can make enough habitat space for gobies to breed when the stream carried a lot of mud and sand which could buried artificial habitat.
