A few days ago, the reporter learned from the Fisheries Institute of the District Academy of Agricultural Sciences that in June 2021, the institute obtained for the first time more than 4,700 fish fry and nearly 2,000 second-year fish fry, which marked a breakthrough in artificial breeding technology of black spotted original catfish.
Known as "Bagri" in Tibetan, it was listed as a national second-level aquatic protected animal in the Directory of Wild Animals under National Key Protection approved by the State Council on January 4, 2021. In recent years, due to changes in its habitat environment and indiscriminate fishing, the habitat range of the black spotted original fish has been shrinking.
In order to better protect and restore the wild resources of the black spotted bass, conquering its full artificial breeding technology is the only way for artificial conservation. The Fisheries Institute of the District Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been based on local characteristics, with the main purpose of protecting and restoring the water ecology of Tibet, and has set up a technical team for artificial breeding of black spotted tanabe to carry out technical research, and finally made relevant progress this month.
At the same time, in order to promote the sustainable development of fisheries and protect the habitat of the black spotted original bass, on June 3, the Fisheries Institute of the District Academy of Agricultural Sciences collected most of the broodstock after the birth of the black spotted original bass, rushed to nearly 600 kilometers to release all the black spotted original bass habitat - a certain section of the river in Shigatse, and carried out local fishery resources environmental protection laws and regulations and science knowledge publicity. "On the one hand, it is to let the local people understand the current situation of the black spotted original bass and enhance the awareness of the protection of the habitat of the black spotted original fish, on the other hand, to publicize the important role of scientific breeding in the protection of fishery resources to the local people and eliminate misunderstandings." Zhou Jianjian, an associate researcher at the Fisheries Institute of the District Academy of Agricultural Sciences, introduced.
