Lake Puma Yumco is a typical alpine lake (altitude; 5,030m) located in the pre-Himalayas of Tibet, China. This study was the first limnologicak investigation. Puma Yumco (28°34'N,90°24'E) has the following morphometric properties: maximum length of 31 km; maximum width of 14 km; mean width of 9 km; shoreline of 90 km; surface area of 280 km²; shoreline development of 1.5. Transparency was approximately 10 m. Dissolved oxygen was l7 mg O₂ L⁻¹ and showed saturated values. Saljnity was 360 mg L⁻¹. The chemical type of the lake water was Mg-Ca-HCO₃-SO₄. Total nitrogenous nutrients and phosphate were extremely low at 1μM and 0.02 μM, respetively. Chlorophyll-a concentration was 0.2 mg chl.a m⁻³. Phytoplankton and zooplankton were dominated by Aphanocapsa. and Diaptomidae. The grain size of lake sediment was that of silt in most cases.
