With its more than 500 young and ecologically diverse species, the Lake Malawi cichlid adaptive radiation provides a great system to study the evolution of biodiversity and species formation. The current samples are sequenced as part of our efforts to develop Lake Malawi cichlids into a model system for genomics of speciation and adaptive radiation. The Malawi cichlid samples were collected ethically under prescribed permits, and the results and data are published under an Access and Benefit Sharing agreement with the Government of Malawi. We acknowledge the contributions of the Malawi Department of Fisheries and the Government of Malawi for their assistance in the collection of samples and the generation of data and results. This data is made available on an open access basis for research use only. Any person who wishes to use this data for any form of commercial purpose must first enter into a commercial licensing and benefit sharing arrangement with the Government of Malawi.

马拉维湖慈鲷（cichlid）适应性辐射（adaptive radiation）拥有500余个年轻且生态多样性丰富的物种，为生物多样性演化与物种形成研究提供了绝佳的实验体系。本研究中的样本测序工作，是我们将马拉维湖慈鲷打造为物种形成与适应性辐射基因组学（genomics）模式研究系统的一部分。马拉维湖慈鲷样本的采集严格遵循伦理规范并持有合法许可，相关研究结果与数据依据与马拉维政府签署的获取与惠益分享（Access and Benefit Sharing）协议公开发布。本研究谨此感谢马拉维渔业部及马拉维政府在样本采集、数据生成与研究结果产出过程中提供的协助。本数据集仅以开放获取的形式提供，且仅可用于科研用途。任何欲将本数据集用于各类商业用途的主体，须事先与马拉维政府签署商业许可与惠益分享协议。
