STORYLINE:
Naked carp are migrating upstream in an inflowing river of Qinghai Lake in northwest China's Qinghai Province.
The naked carp, known as "Huangyu" in China, is endemic to Qinghai Lake, the largest saline lake and inland lake in China.
The fish is not only critical to the existence of local bird species, but also to the ecological balance of the highland lake.
The population of the species once declined sharply owing to overfishing.
In order to protect the species and restore the environment, the province banned naked carp fishing in Qinghai Lake and in nearby rivers in 2003.
