Anabarilius transmontana Rediscovered in Panlong River in Wenshan County, Yunnan Province

Anabarilius transmontana was native to Datun Lake in Gejiu, and Panlong River in Wenshan, Yunnan Province.It had not been reported to be captured in the past 30 years. Fortunately, white fish specimens were captured in July and September of 2010 in Panlong River of Wenshan County respectively, and the samples were identified as A.transmontana after reviewed some relevant literatures and examined the materials kept in Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is amazing to rediscover the A. transmontana in Panlong River. However,it does not indicate that the natural environment of Panlong River in Wenshan had been significantly improved.
