The squid, also known as the water tiger, is a large and ferocious fish that is active in the freshwater waters along the Yangtze River.
Common freshwater fish such as grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, etc. are all part of its diet.
Therefore, the squid is also a veritable "fish overlord" of the freshwater domain name.
They are known for their steadfastness and ruthlessness when chasing their prey, and are often able to achieve shocking scenes of group hunting.
Because this kind of fish grows relatively fast, the adult squid can reach dozens or even hundreds of catties!
In October 2019, near the mouth of the Danjiang River in Hubei, someone caught a large squid of more than 100 catties.
This is a very rare phenomenon in all freshwater fish.
As soon as the news came out, people kept coming to negotiate the price and wanted to collect this big fish.
«——[· is hard to escape the catastrophe·]——»
But with more fishing and hunting, the number of squid has plummeted to the point of extinction before the 10-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River has even begun.
As the most important fish in the seventies and eighties of the last century, the squid accounts for a relatively large proportion of the entire aquatic market because of its delicious meat, and has become a "frequent guest" on the table of many people.
There are almost no squid in the entire Yangtze River waters.
Due to the overfishing of squid, it has also caused an imbalance in the ecological chain of the entire Yangtze River waters, and the annual catch has been less than 100,000 tons in recent years.
More and more fish are being affected, and people who are aware of this are starting to remedy it.
If we want to restore the green ecology and achieve sustainable development, we need to take a long-term view and not just see the immediate benefits.
To this end, the government has also begun to work on this.
«——[· Maintain the ecology, · 10-year fishing ban]——»
In 2021, the 10-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River was fully launched, and in order to improve the entire ecological environment, the government has also made up its mind to protect this important body of water.
Law enforcement officers have stepped up patrols to crack down on some illegal and poaching people.
But there will always be people who will choose to commit crimes against the wind at this critical juncture, which is simply bold!
On January 12, 2021, a maritime police station in Shanghai arrested five suspects who ignored the fishing ban.
According to investigations, these people illegally caught more than 1,100 catties of fish and made illegal profits of more than 30,000 yuan.
In the face of incriminating evidence, the criminals also confessed their illegal acts. They have seriously violated the fishing ban that has just been in place for more than a decade.
It's really embarrassing to see this, there will always be some people who choose to take risks for their own small profits, without any overall view.
Since there are people who fish illegally, it is natural that another question will come to mind - where have the people who make a living from fishing gone?
The 10-year ban on fishing means that some fishermen who have been fishing for generations can no longer continue to do so.
«——【·Where do fishermen go·】——»
According to statistics, the ban on fishing has a bearing on the lives of hundreds of thousands of fishermen in the future.
So with this question, a reporter arrived in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province in 2024 to seek answers.
They arrived in Hukou County, the only pilot county in Jiangxi Province for a 10-year fishing ban.
They were the first to implement a fishing ban back in 2019.
In a subsequent interview, government officials told reporters that some of the professional fishermen have entered the surrounding enterprises to work, and some have started their entrepreneurial journeys, and many people are engaged in aquaculture and farming.
For fishermen who have lost their ancestral careers, the government has also provided relevant assistance, such as setting up records and tracking assistance, to help fishermen achieve faster transformation on landing.
With the help of the government, these fishermen have not only changed the status quo of "relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea", but also their living conditions are better than before, and their lives are gradually improving.
What is more touching is that more than a dozen fishermen have joined the patrol team of finless porpoises in the county, from fishing to fishery protection, patrolling the nearby waters to protect these wild animals.
«——[· Effect Revealed ·]——»
It has been four years since the implementation of the plan, and some results have been seen in the past four years.
In 2023, the long-lost squid reappeared in the waters of Tiaoxi, where it is understood that it has not been seen for nearly 30 years.
Therefore, people are very happy when they find out about the breeding colony of squid.
On the morning of July 8, 2024, a few days ago, the finless porpoise survey team of the Yangtze River in Jingjiang observed a group of finless porpoises playing happily on the water.
In the footage, there are even scenes of mother and child traveling together.
As a first-class wild protected animal in the mainland, the finless porpoise has a gentle temperament and a cute appearance. Because of this, it has attracted the attention and love of many people.
The finless porpoise has been an endangered species since a long time, and the fact that so many finless porpoises were photographed together this time also reflects that the ecology of the Yangtze River is gradually improving.
There are all signs that the ban on fishing is healing the scars of the entire Yangtze River basin and is in the process of repairing itself.
Seeing this, some people are worried that if a fish like the squid reproduces rapidly, won't it cause the number of other species to decline?
«——[· the road to ban fishing, there is a long way to go·] ——»
Although the entire waters of the Yangtze River have been restored to some extent, there is still a long way to go to reach the ideal state.
There are 443 species of fish that have historically been recorded living in the Yangtze River basin, and more than 120 species have not been monitored until now.
Although the number of the "four major fish", herring, grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp, has reached 4.5 times that before the fishing ban, this number is still far less than the beginning, accounting for only one-third of the previous best level.
For example, some rare species, such as the Chinese sturgeon, have not changed the status quo of being critically endangered.
In general, it takes 2-5 years for a fish to mature, and a 10-year ban can allow some species to recuperate for two to three generations.
However, this does not mean that everyone can continue fishing as soon as the ten years come, and there is a long way to go to restore the ecology of the Yangtze River, which needs to be determined according to the restoration situation.
Although species such as the squid grow relatively quickly and reproduce relatively quickly, the number is still not significant in the short term.
So it's too early for people to worry about that. This situation is caused by human intervention in these ecological cycles of nature.
In fact, the behavior of some big fish eating small fish and tigers eating small deer all follow the laws of nature, and natural selection of the fittest to survive, excessive intervention from the perspective of human beings will be counterproductive.
