Anabarilius yangzonensis is a species of cyprinid fish in the family Xenocyprididae that is currently critically endangered. They can only be found in Yangzong Lake of Yunnan, China. [1]
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.
Yilong Lake is a large freshwater lake located in Shiping County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan province, southwestern China. The lake has a surface area of approximately 32 square kilometres (12 sq mi) and is particularly notable for its scenery, including the colorful lotus flowers that bloom on its surface. It is located about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) east of the county seat. The people who live in the vicinity of the lake are largely of the Yi ethnic group. As of the spring of 2013 a severe drought had resulted in substantial lowering of the water level.
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.
Fuxian Lake stretches out through Chengjiang, Jiangchuan and Huaning Counties in Yunnan Province, spanning an area of 212 square kilometers. The lake is ranked third-largest in Yunnan, after Dian Lake and Erhai Lake. Also the deepest lake in Yunnan, it is 155 meters deep at its greatest depth. It is also the third-deepest fresh water lake in China, after Tianchi and Kanas Lake.
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.
Anabarilius brevianalis is a species of cyprinid fish from the Jinsha River basin in China.
Anabarilius duoyiheensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Alburnus.
Anabarilius goldenlineus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Alburnus.
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 macrolepis is an extinct species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae 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 cyprinid fish in the family Xenocyprididae. It is endemic ot the Nan Pan Jiang basin in Yunnan, southern 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. It grows to 13.9 cm (5.5 in) standard length.
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 cyprinid fish in the family Xenocyprididae. It is endemic to Yunnan (China). It is known from Qingshui Lake in the eponymous Xundian County, on the Jinsha River. The exact threats are unknown but it may be fished for food and sensitive to pollution.
Anabarilius qiluensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Anabarilius.
