At the Hanyang Test Site of the Institute of Hydroecology under the Ministry of Water Resources and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, many baby Chinese sturgeons, several centimeters long, are happily swimming. Dr. Liao Xiaolin at the institute said that this batch of 65,000 Chinese sturgeons was born over 50 days ago and they were growing steadily. This is the first time that the 2.5-generation of Chinese sturgeons have been bred in an artificial environment in China.
In 1983 and 2009, China bred, by artificial means, the first and second filial generations of Chinese sturgeons. The present 2.5-generation has a first filial generation mother (born in 2005) and a second filial generation father (born in 2009).
12月2日，中國科學院水工程生态研究所漢陽試驗基地内，一群幾厘米長的中華鲟正在歡快地遊動。廖小林博士說，這批中華鲟出生已有50天了，進入成長穩定期，共有6.5萬尾。這是我國首次人工繁育出2.5代中華鲟。
我國分别在1983年、2009年人工繁殖了中華鲟子一代、中華鲟子二代。此次出生的子2.5代中華鲟，則是子一代的“母親”（2005年出生）和子二代的“父親”（2009年出生）的“人工結合”。
