Aquatic populations in Fuxian Lake, Yuxi City, increased yesterday morning (October 10) as 130,000 Kanglang fish fry were released into the water to help replenish the dwindling fishery stocks.
Government officials in Yuxi released about 0.5 million fry of native-born fish into the lake in June.
Kanglang Fish, or schizothorax taliensis, is native in Yunnan, especially in Fuxian Lake. It is the fish under the secondary protection in China. The fish is called Kanglang Fish by local since it often swims against the current.
Fuxian Lake is ranked third largest in Yunnan, right after the Dianchi Lake and the Erhai Lake. Also the deepest lake in Yunnan, it is 155 meters deep at its greatest depth.
