A swarm of black carps, or Mylopharyngodon piceus, has been recently captured by conservationist photographers in the Fuxian lake, central Yunnan’s Yixi city. The black carp is a species of cyprinid freshwater fish native to China and Vietnam.

The 212-square-kilometer Fuxian is the deepest fresh-water lake in the province, with a maximum depth of 155 meters, and ecological improvements over the years have made the lake more livable for species and more appealing to visitors.
