The Yangtze River finless porpoise is known as the "giant panda in the water" due to its small population. Recently, near the fishing village section of Yangzizhou Town in Ganjiang, Nanchang, Jiangxi, more than 20 porpoises played in the water, attracting many photography enthusiasts to punch in.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, a number of porpoises appeared, sometimes jumping in groups, sometimes playing with the waves, and sometimes "dragging their families with mouths" to swim in the Ganjiang River, so the river surface was flooded with waves.
Eco-photography enthusiasts: Last Saturday I took a group, that is, upstream, the distance is relatively far, about four or five hundred meters, I took a picture of a porpoise jumping, and then there are two small gull birds next to it, which feels pretty good.
Yu Huigong, director of the Nature Education and Volunteer Committee of the Wildlife Conservation Association of Jiangxi Province: I conservatively say that there are more than 20, and not conservatively say that there are nearly 30 finless porpoises, which are very active here, because the waters in this section are relatively deep, relatively wide, and relatively wide bends, so the fish here are also relatively abundant.
Yu Huigong introduced that he will monitor the finless porpoise in the Ganjiang River basin every year, and in previous years there were only 4 to 5 finless porpoises in this area. The surge in the number of finless porpoises this year has surprised him with both surprise and delight.
Yu Huigong, director of the Nature Education and Volunteer Committee of the Wildlife Conservation Association of Jiangxi Province: Because the water level this year is good, coupled with the ten-year fishing ban, fish resources are very rich.
Expert view: The "ten-year ban on fishing" has achieved initial results And fishery resources have gradually recovered
According to relevant experts, since the beginning of 2020, the Ganjiang River Basin has implemented the implementation of the ban on fishing, in just over a year, the ecological environment of the Ganjiang fishery has been significantly improved.
Jiangxi Aquatic Life Conservation and Rescue Center Monitoring Section Wang Sheng: Poyang Lake this year found hewl, helix this fish is a river and lake migratory fish, we have not seen this fish for nearly a decade, this year found one, and later found two. At the same time, we can also see the discovery of heels in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, indicating that the fish population resources represented by heliquats are gradually recovering. In addition, during the detection of the lake mouth, we found a cochineal fish, which is nearly ten pounds of cochineal, which is also the largest individual cochineal found in the past decade.
Wang Sheng introduced that the water environment of the Ganjiang River is constantly improving, and fish such as finless porpoises have returned to everyone's vision, and how to do a good job in the next protection work should become the consensus of everyone.
Jiangxi Provincial Aquatic Life Conservation and Rescue Center Monitoring Section Wang Sheng: To restore the habitat of fish, such as its spawning grounds, feeding grounds, and wintering grounds, it is necessary to carry out standardized and scientific breeding and stocking, and then we must strengthen the monitoring of fishery resources. The second is that we, as the public, must reject wild meat.
Jiangxi: The aquatic waters inhabited by porpoises in many places have been included in the five-year plan for "joint construction of ministries and provinces"
In addition, the reporter learned from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Jiangxi Province that at present, the Yangtze River waters of the Ganjiang River, together with the Longkou waters of Poyang Lake and the Laoye Temple waters of the Poyang Lake Yangtze Porpoise Provincial Nature Reserve, and the Kangshan waters of Poyang Lake in the Yugan County Porpoise Conservation Area, have been included in the five-year plan for the "Ministry-Province Joint Construction" Porpoise Protection Base. Jiangxi Province will fully rely on the resources of the ministry and province to carry out scientific research on finless porpoises, improve the emergency response mechanism for finless porpoises in distress, establish a video surveillance system in the important distribution of finless porpoises, and use big data, unmanned aerial vehicles and other scientific and technological means to improve the scientific management level of finless porpoise protection and comprehensively strengthen the protection of finless porpoises.
