Anabarilius brevianalis is a species of cyprinid fish from the Jinsha River basin in China. [2]
The Yangtze or Yangzi is the longest river in Asia, the third-longest in the world and the longest in the world to flow entirely within one country. It rises at Jari Hill in the Tanggula Mountains and flows 6,300 km (3,900 mi) in a generally easterly direction to the East China Sea. It is the sixth-largest river by discharge volume in the world. Its drainage basin comprises one-fifth of the land area of China, and is home to nearly one-third of the country's population.
Dianchi Lake, also known as Lake Dian and Kunming Lake, is a large lake located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau close to Kunming, Yunnan, China. Its nickname is the "Sparkling Pearl Embedded in a Highland" and it was the model for the Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace in Beijing. Its name is the source of Yunnan's Chinese abbreviation 滇.
Icefishes or noodlefishes are a family, the Salangidae, of small osmeriform fish, related to the smelts. They are found in Eastern Asia, ranging from the Russian Far East in the north to Vietnam in the south, with the highest species richness in China. Some species are widespread and common, but others have relatively small ranges and are threatened. Depending on species, they inhabit coastal marine, brackish or fresh water habitats, and some are anadromous, only visiting fresh water to spawn.
Anabarilius polylepis is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae, that is endemic to Yunnan, China. It only occurs in Dian Lake and Songhuaba reservoir in Kunming. It was once a major commercial fish species, but it has not been confirmed in the lake since the 1970s. Its decline is attributed to many factors: introduced fish species, decreasing water quality, the loss of macrophytes, over-fishing, and the loss of breeding sites due to siltation and blocked access.
Anabarilius is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae, most of them only occurring in China. Many of the species have very restricted geographic range and have been negatively impacted by introduced species, fishing, and habitat degradation; the IUCN Red List includes five Anabarilius species that are either endangered or critically endangered and one species that is considered extinct.
Neosalanx tangkahkeii, the Chinese icefish or short-snout icefish, is a species of icefish endemic to fresh and brackish waters in China. Despite its common name it is not the only icefish in China; the majority of the species in this family are found in the country.
Anabarilius alburnops is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Alburnus. It is only known from Dian Lake and Songhuaba Reservoir, both in Kunming, Yunnan. It can reach sizes above 31 cm (12 in) SL.
Anabarilius andersoni is a species of cyprinid fish that is endemic to China. It is a pelagic species only known from Xingyun Lake in Yunnan, and its population is severely impacted by domestic pollution and overfishing.
The Kanglang fish is a species of cyprinid fish. It is a pelagic species endemic to Fuxian Lake in Yunnan, southern China. However, the species may now be in the process of extinction because of the introduced noodlefish Neosalanx taihuensis, with which it is competing for food.
Anabarilius liui is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Anabarilius. The nominate subspecies lui is endemic to the upper Yangtze basin in China, but there are no recent records and it is considered extinct in the 2009 Chinese red list.
Anabarilius longicaudatus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Anabarilius. They are benthopelagic freshwater fish found only in the Pearl River in southern China. They grow to 20 cm (7.9 in) TL.
Anabarilius macrolepis is an extinct species of ray-finned fish in the genus Anabarilius that was endemic to Yilong Lake in Yunnan, China. It is believed that it became extinct when Yilong Lake dried up in 1981, as a result of water abstraction for agriculture. The species was not observed in 1983–84, and was declared extinct in 2011.
Anabarilius maculatus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Alburnus, that can be found in Nan Pan Jiang basin in south-eastern China. It is threatened by invasive non-native species, domestic and urban waste water, agricultural pollution and dams. The species have not been studied well, therefore its ranked as Data Deficient.
Anabarilius qionghaiensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Anabarilius.
Anabarilius songmingensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Anabarilius.
Anabarilius transmontanus is a species of cyprinid fish. It is known from the Red River and Pearl River drainages in Yunnan, China; it is expected to occur in northern Vietnam. It can grow to 16 cm (6.3 in) total length, although it is commonly around 10 cm (3.9 in) standard length. It occurs in both rivers and lakes. The species is threatened by domestic and urban water pollution, habitat loss, and possibly non-native species.
Anabarilius xundianensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Alburnus, that is endemic to China. It is known from Qingshui Lake, a Jinsha River tributary of Yangtze River. The exact threats are unknown but it may be fished for food and sensitive to pollution.
Anabarilius yangzonensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Anabarilius, that are currently critically endangered. They can only be found in Yangzong Lake of China.
Anabarilius paucirastellus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Alburnus.
The river sardine (Engraulicypris brevianalis or Mesobola brevianalis is an African species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in the Cunene, Okavango, upper Zambezi river systems and east coastal rivers from the Limpopo to the Umfolozi in northern KwaZulu-Natal. It is also known from the middle Luapula in Zambia. Engraulicypris gariepinus is sometimes considered conspecific.
