Zhang Fangfeng: Very optimistic about the hope brought by "Ten Years Ban Fishing"

Academician Cao Wenxuan of the Institute of Aquatic Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the first scientist of the "Yangtze River Ten Years of Fishing". As early as 2006, he proposed at the Three Gorges Engineering and Technology Forum that in order to protect the large and small fish in the Yangtze River, Cao Wenxuan participated three times " "The Yangtze River Protection Law" formulation process for comments.

In addition to the Wuhan River section, the Ganjiang River and Nanchang of Nanjing, Yichang, and the Yangtze River have frequently appeared in porpoons.

"If the extinction of the Yangtze River fish such as the Baiyou dolphin and the white tadpoles is a lesson that brings us to us, then after practicing the Yangtze River Protection, the" Ten Years Ban Fishing "starts, and it has indeed brought us some good news." Zhang Fangfeng It is said that after the fishery activities that had affected fish in the past were banned, in recent years, the number of porpoons in the Yangtze River has gradually risen and the number of fish in the Yangtze River will also increase.

For the same endangered Chinese and Yangtze River, Zhang Fangfeng agreed with the critical point of view, "they are eggs, unlike dolphin mammals. At present, artificial reproduction has achieved results. With continuous improvement, the Yangtze River is very likely to return to the Yangtze River and home. Let's look forward to it together! "
