Jimu Journalists interviewed on September 7 that at about 6 pm on September 6, after receiving the citizen Mr. Wang for help from the citizen of Tuanfeng County Fishery Administration Law Enforcement Brigade in Hubei Province, he rescued one The first -level national protection animals, the Yangtze River, which was announced as an extinction in the wild not long ago.

Rescued big fish

The Yangtze River was announced in July 2022. On the 21st of the month, the World Nature Conservation Alliance (IUCN) released the global endangered red list update report showed that the Yangtze River was extinct. At the same time, the catfish that appeared in the report with the Yangtze River also had white crickets in the report, which was "extinct."

The staff of the Law Enforcement Brigade of Tuanfeng County told Jimu Journalists that Mr. Wang found a big fish on the beach on the beach by the Yangtze River. After receiving the call from Mr. Wang, the staff immediately rushed to the scene and rescued it. The staff of the law enforcement brigade put it in the water tank and brought it back to the unit for temporary placement.

After being informed by Jimu Journalists, I contacted Du Hao, a researcher at the Yangtze River Aquatic Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Aquatic Sciences.

The Du Hao scientific research team has long been engaged in research on the rare and endangered fish of the Yangtze River in Changjiang Mo and China. After Du Hao's identification of videos and pictures, the big fish found in the Tuanfeng Yangtze River section is the Yangtze River. "Everyone is generally more familiar with Chinese magpies. The Yangtze River is the same as the national first -class protection of animals. The appearance of the two is similar, and the people may be misjudgment." He introduced. "The Yangtze River is a unique species in my country. At present The upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the middle reaches are distributed, and you can live in the wild. "

According to the staff, after the measurement, the Yangtze River's body is 96 cm long and weighs about 4 kg. There is a small red dot at the end of the back. Based on this, Du Hao speculated that this Yangtze River is a sub -Cheng, and it is expected that the fish age is 5 to 6 years. "The monitoring results show that around 2000, it is estimated that the Yangtze River in the wild has stopped naturally." Du Hao further introduced, "From the video, it cannot be judged. Judging that this individual must have survived the outside world for a long time, and the physical condition is better. This is a living case of the great protection results of the Yangtze River. "

On the morning of the 7th, the staff of the Law Enforcement Brigade of Tuanfeng County introduced that some scientific researchers arrived at the scene, sampled the Yangtze River, and put it back to the Yangtze River on the afternoon of the 7th.

"Although the Yangtze River is announced in the wild, from this individual, it is likely that it will grow mature within the next two or three years. If the number is further increased, it is possible to form a new Yangtze River breeding place in the middle of the Yangtze River. This species will be this species. Can be retained. "Du Hao said.
