Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Redirect Шаблон:Infobox body of water Bosten Lake (Шаблон:Zh, Uyghur: Шаблон:Lang / Шаблон:Lang / Baghrash Köli / Baƣrax Kɵli, Chagatai: Bostang) is a freshwater lake on the northeastern rim of the Tarim Basin, about Шаблон:Convert east of Yanqi and Шаблон:Convert northeast of Korla, Xinjiang, China in the Bayin'gholin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture. Covering an area of about Шаблон:Convert (together with adjacent small lakes), it is the largest lake in Xinjiang and one of the largest inland freshwater lakes in China.[1] Bosten lake receives water inflow from a catchment area of Шаблон:Convert.[2]
The lake's Mongol, Uyghur and Chinese names are sometimes rendered as Bosten Hu, Bagrax-hu, Bagrasch-köl, Baghrasch köl, Bagratsch-kul, Bositeng Lake or Bositeng Hu.
The Kaidu River is the most important tributary to Lake Bosten, accounting for about 83% of its water inflow,[1] other significant tributaries are the Huangshui Ditch (Шаблон:Zh), the Qingshui River (Шаблон:Zh), and Wulasite River (Шаблон:Zh).[3]
An active fishery exists on the lake. Until the early 1970s, two cyprinid species, Schizothorax biddulphi and Aspiorhynchus laticeps, the latter of which is endemic to Bosten Lake and the Yarkand River, were responsible for 80 percent of the annual catch.[4] During the years 1962 to 1965, various carp species (bighead, black, silver, grass, common, and crucian carp) were introduced into the lake.[4] In the 1970s, these species become major targets of the fishing activities.[4] Since 1978, the introduced European perch has been the dominating species in the catches from Bosten Lake.[4]
