(230712) -- CHENGDU, July 12, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Zhou Liang shows a juvenile fish of Yangtze sturgeon at a breeding base jointly operated by Yibin Institute of Rare Aquatic Animals and Fisheries Institute of Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Yibin, southwest China's Sichuan Province, June 27, 2023. Zhou Liang, 51, is the director of Yibin Institute of Rare Aquatic Animals. He started to study with his father the subject of artificial breeding of rare fish since 1993. Since the successful artificial propagation of parent fish of Yangtze sturgeon bred in the institute in 1998, the whole artificial propagation of the rare fish and the production of three generations of fry have been realized one after another. Yangtze sturgeon, also known as Dabry's sturgeon, has lost its natural ability to reproduce since 2000 due to overfishing and water pollution, among other factors. The International Union for Conservation of Nature declared the species extinct in the wild in July last year. In March this year

    (230727) -- WUHAN, July 27, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Staff members from the Institute of Hydrobiology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences monitor the Yangtze finless porpoises growing in a cage at the Yangtze River Swan Island Baiji Dolphin National Nature Reserve, central China's Hubei Province, June 27, 2023. Three generations of researchers at the Institute of Hydrobiology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have spent decades rescuing and nursing endangered species - the Baiji dolphin and the Yangtze finless porpoise. The latter is dubbed the "smiling angel of the Yangtze River" as its slightly curly lips resemble those of a smiling person. Baiji dolphin Qi Qi passed away in July 2002 after living for more than 22 years at the Baiji Dolphin House under CAS Institute of Hydrobiology in Wuhan.
