Abstract
Inle Lake is located on the Southwestern part of Shan State, which is easternmost state in
Myanmar (Burma). The lake is surrounded by Shan Hills, by which the lake and neighboring
aquatic habitats has been historically isolated and thus harboring several endemic fish
species. These aquatic environments and local markets were where the surveys were carried
out.

Study area descriptions/descriptor: Inle Lake is located on the Southwestern part of Shan
State, which is easternmost state in Myanmar. The lake is surrounded by Shan Hills, by
which the lake and surrounding aquatic habitats have been historically isolated and thus
harbor several endemic fish species. These aquatic environments and local markets were
where the surveys were carried out.
Design description: This study focused on fish fauna of Inle Lake, a representative ancient
lake in mainland Southeast Asia, which so far has not been investigated much for a century
(Annandale 1918), and hoped to comprehend the current status. Especially, we focused on the
condition of endemic species as the environments have been drastically changed (Su and
Jassby 2000) and alien species recently settled in the lake (Davies et al. 2004, Oo 2010). As
information about fish species of Inle Lake is quite poor, almost all the specimens were taken
photos in raw condition. The photo data are available from an online database Fishes of
Mainland Southeast Asia (Kano et al. 2013) (http://ffish.asia/INLE2016). CT/3D models are
also available from the database (http://ffish.asia/INLE2016-3D). The voucher specimens
were deposited at Kasetsart University. As well as keeping the main body for formalin
sample, a small piece of tissue (mainly from the right pectoral or pelvic fin) was excised,
preserved in 99% alcohol and stored at Kyoto University to facilitate the study of molecular
biology and genetics later.

Natural collections description
Collection name: RLIKU-IL
Specimen preservation method: Formalin
Specimen preservation method: Alcohol
Methods
Method step description:
- Sampling locality and date were recorded.
- Specimens were given IDs, photographed (Kano and Nakajima 2014), fin-clipped,
and roughly classified on site.
- Specimens were shipped back to the lab for correct species identification.
- Specimens were fixed in 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin for one month. Next, they
were cleaned with water and preserved in 70% alcohol.
Study extent description: The surveys were carried out from 2014 to 2016 in aquatic
environments and local markets, which were associated with Inle Lake, of Shan State and
Kayah State of Myanmar.
Sampling description: The fish samples were collected and purchased at 44 wild habitats, 25
local markets, and 1 fish-cage put in the lake. In the wild, the fishes were collected by
hand-nets, throwing nets, traps, and/or purchasing from fishermen. In the markets, we
avoided to purchase the obvious cultured fishes from other areas (especially from Yangon
and Mandalay), such as Wallago spp. and Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, by interviewing
the seller.
Quality control description: All the scientific names of fish samples were validated by the
updated fish checklist in the Catalogue of Fishes, California Academy of Sciences
(http://www.calacademy.org/scientists/projects/catalog-of-fishes) and/or Kottelat 2013. Most
of the specimens were photographed in fresh (Kano and Nakajima 2014), and then the
formalin specimens and its tissue samples were catalogued and deposited at Faculty of
Fisheries, Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand (RLIKU) and Kyoto University, Kyoto,
Japan, respectively. All the samples were assigned the IDs, in which the IDs were associated
with the records of location (latitude, longitude, and region name), the dates, methods, etc.
