Anabarilius alburnops (also known as silver minnow[2] or silvery white fish,[1][3] a direct translation of its Chinese name, 银白鱼) is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Anabarilius. It is only known from Dian Lake and Songhuaba Reservoir, both in Kunming, Yunnan.[1][3] It can reach sizes above 31 cm (12 in) SL.[1] The species was once common in Dian Lake, but has since 1950s dramatically declined; today, only few individuals are occasionally captured. Its decline is caused by introduced fish species, pollution, the loss of macrophytes (in part due to grass carp), over-fishing, and the loss of breeding sites. Along with many other fish species endemic to Dian Lake, it is a threatened species.[1][3]
