The population of the naked carp, known as "Huangyu" in China, once declined sharply due to overfishing. To protect the species and restore the environment, a rescue center for naked carp was established in 2003. Since June this year, staff of the rescue center have been collecting eggs of naked carp in Quanji River, where the fish swims upstream. According to the center's plan, 20 million naked carps will be incubated this year and will be released into Qinghai Lake next year. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): ZHANG
