The species number has so far increased to 79 in the Jiangsu section from 48 at the beginning of 2017," said Zhang Jianjun, the&nbsp;Jiangsu Province's Agriculture Department Deputy Director.In recent years, the annual catch from the Yangtze has fallen to less than 100,000 tonnes from more than 420,000 tonnes in the 1950s.According to the&nbsp;Agriculture Ministry, 231,000 fishermen on 111,000 boats have to date relinquished their nets in ten provincial regions. Meanwhile, an annual number of over 5 billion captive-bred fish fries have been released into the river.As the fishing ban has sounded the horn, the regions along the river have also launched a campaign to save rare and endangered species, including the Chinese sturgeon and the finless porpoise.On Dec 12, the team of area for finless porpoise at Yugan, Jiangxi Prov patrolled Poyang w , saw the finless porpoise jumping out of the water. — CBCGDF (@CBCGDF_China)This porpoise has lived in the middle and lower main streams of the river for 25 million years. However, the river mammal is teetering on the brink of extinction. Its population is only around 1,000 in the main waterway of the Yangtze.Anhui, Jiangsu, and other provinces along the river have established finless porpoise protection teams. Emergency rescue and patrol mechanisms will also improve to reduce unnatural deaths of the animal. Thanks to the joint efforts, the creature in the Yangtze has seen a significant increase."The number of the species in the Nanjing section has jumped to 50 from less than 30," said Yang Guang, head of the Nanjing conservation association.In addition, local governments have taken measures, including eliminating "black and odorous" water bodies and closing illegal sewage outlets along the river, to reduce water pollution. Many ex-fishermen are also making efforts to create a clean home for aquatic life.byComment0Sign In or Register to leave a comment, use the forums and morePost with no comments.
