free captive animals! The living fossil Shi's sturgeon in the water was released back into the Waters of Fuyuan

【Release!】 On the evening of May 10, the police of the Jiamusi Border Management Detachment's border police station along the river routinely patrolled the waters of the Fuyuan section of the Heilongjiang River on the border between China and Russia, and when they patrolled to 65 kilometers of water, the police found a fishing boat working on the net. When the police boarded the boat for inspection, the fishermen who were lifting the net found that the net was particularly heavy, and after the net, the police and the fishermen found that they had mistakenly caught the wild Shi's sturgeon known as "living fossils in the water". Due to the poor light conditions at night, after the preliminary inspection, the police, together with the fishermen, sent the fish to the Fuyuan Gate Ship Management Station and took protective measures against the tail Shi's sturgeon. On May 11, the on-site inspection by the fishery department staff confirmed that the female mature individual of the tail shi shi sturgeon line had a body length of 170 cm, weighed nearly 100 pounds, had good vital signs, and met the conditions for release. The police of the border police station along the river released the tailed Shi's sturgeon on the spot in accordance with the requirements of wildlife protection. (Tan Xiangzhu)
