Situated by the East China Sea, Fujian Province boasts a sea area of 136,000 square km, a rugged coastline and numerous bays and islands, making it an optimal place for developing mariculture. Over the years, Fujian has concentrated on increasing high-quality marine fishery food supplies, and accelerating the upgrading of mariculture while protecting the marine ecological environment. In 2023, Fujian's mariculture output was nearly 5.8 million tonnes, ranking second in the country. (Xinhua/Lin Shanchuan)

Huangshan Stump-tailed Macaque (Macaca thibetana huangshanensis), a species unique to Huangshan area of China, often showing up in groups in dense forests and canyons, climbing branches and cliffs with ease, is under China's second-class national protection. In 1983, Anhui University and Kyoto University carried out scientific and technological cooperation with a primate field research base established in Fuxi Village at the foot of Huangshan mountain to conduct ecological investigation of Huangshan stump-tailed macaques. Over the past 40 years, abundant first-hand data on Huangshan stump-tailed macaques were obtained as Anhui University extensively cooperated with many universities and research institutes, revealing living habits, behavioral purposes and social structure of the primate.
