Researcher Liu Huanzhang calls for increased release of artificially bred endangered fish and improved shoreline restoration in the Yangtze River.

Researcher Liu Huanzhang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences urges greater scale in the release of artificially bred fish of endangered species in the Yangtze River, along with improved shoreline restoration to enhance Asia's longest watercourse's aquatic ecosystem. He praises the 10-year fishing moratorium that began in the Yangtze River Basin in 2020 as a significant step but highlights the need for more efforts, including releasing artificially bred fish to support species like the Chinese sturgeon and implementing shoreline restoration measures like meandering riverbank designs to create favorable environments for small fish.
