CHINA-HAINAN-SANYA-MARINE RANCH-DEVELOPMENT (CN)

(240521) -- SANYA(HAINAN), May 21, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Blue banded coral shrimps are pictured in the Wuzhizhou Island's marine ranch in Sanya, south China's Hainan Province, May 16, 2024. Wuzhizhou Island's marine ranch, China's first tropical marine ranch, has made remarkable strides in marine ecological restoration and fishery resource conservation. Artificial reefs are utilized worldwide to enhance ocean ecology, by creating additional habitats for local aquatic organisms and fish. As of April 2024, the marine ranch has deployed approximately 80,000 cubic meters of artificial reefs and ship-reefs. These efforts have created a thriving marine ecosystem, complete with coral reefs, fish, shrimp and shellfish. Statistics reveal that over 51,000 corals have been successfully transplanted in the waters around Wuzhizhou Island. The area is now home to more than 300 species of coral reef fish, showcasing the rich biodiversity that has been nurtured through these conservation efforts. (Xinhua/Yang Guanyu)

Rungis International Market - Southern Paris

This photograph shows shrimps at the fish pavilion of the Rungis International Market, southern suburb of Paris on December 6, 2023. The Rungis International Market (Marche International de Rungis) is the principal market of Paris, mainly for food and horticultural products, located in the commune of Rungis, in the southern suburbs. It is the second largest wholesale food market in the world after Central de Abasto, located in Mexico city. From its origins in the 10th century to the mid-20th century, the central market of Paris was located in the centre of the city, in a 10-hectare area named Les Halles. That became too small to accommodate all of the business demand, and, in 1969, the market was transferred to the suburbs. Rungis was selected because of its easy access by rail and highway and its proximity to Orly International Airport. Photo by Eliot Blondet/ABACAPRESS.COM
