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 thi

Multiple measures benefit endangered fish species in China

STORY: Multiple measures benefit endangered fish species in China DATELINE: March 2, 2022 LENGTH: 00:01:54 LOCATION: CHONGQING, China CATEGORY: ENVIRONMENT/SOCIETY SHOTLIST: 1. various of Yangtze River 2. SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese) : YAO WEIZHI, Professor, Southwest University 3. SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): YAN ZHON, Deputy Director, Fisheries Research Institute of Wanzhou District, Chongqing 4. various of Yangtze River STORYLINE: Thanks to protection measures, the endangered Dabry's sturgeon can be spotted in the Yangtze River in China. Dabry's sturgeon, also known as the Yangtze sturgeon, has lost its natural ability to reproduce since 2000 due to overfishing and crowded rivers, among others. It was classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2010.
