Kapylyushi (Russian: Капылюши) or Kapylyushy[2] is a body of fresh water in the Bauntovsky District, Buryatia, Russia.[3] The name originated in an Evenki word.[4]
The lake is located in the northwestern corner of the Vitim Plateau, near the left bank of river Tsipikan, of the Vitim river basin. Together with lake Baunt it belongs to the "Tsipo-Tsipikansky" (Ципо-Ципиканских) lake group —after rivers Tsipa and Tsipikan, which is also known as Bauntovsky (Баунтовских) —after lake Baunt. The study of the whole lake area began only in the 1930s in the course of an expedition of the Krasnoyarsk branch of the Research Institute of Freshwater Fisheries of the USSR. The results of the research were published in 1936 in the Handbook of Water Resources of the USSR.[4]
