Nanchang, September 4 (Reporter Li Yunhan) "Now finless porpoises can be seen almost every day, and sometimes 7-8 finless porpoises can be seen jumping out of the water at the same time." A photographer who has been "squatting" in the waters of the Ganjiang River in Yangzizhou Town, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province for nearly two months told the reporter of Zhongxin.com that it is normal for finless porpoises to appear frequently in this water area.
The Yangtze finless porpoise is the indicative flagship species of the Yangtze River ecosystem, and it is also listed in the Red List of the World Conservation Union. Because of its small population, it is called the "giant panda in the water".
Ganjiang River is the largest river in Jiangxi, the central province of China, and one of the main tributaries of the Yangtze River. At 17 o’clock on the 3rd, the reporter from Zhongxin. com observed in the waters of Ganjiang River in Yangzizhou Town, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province that there were 3-4 finless porpoises swimming in the water, sometimes playing by the waves, and sometimes "married with children" swam with her cubs, and her round head kept coming out of the water, which was really cute.
"A finless porpoise eats about 10% of its own weight of fish a day, which is about 10-20 Jin of small fish. At the same time, it has high requirements for the water quality of its living environment." Dai Nianhua, a researcher of Jiangxi Academy of Sciences, vice chairman and secretary general of the provincial ecological society, said that the active finless porpoise proved that the fish resources in the waters were rich, the phenomenon of overfishing was curbed, and the results of "ten-year fishing ban" began to appear.
On January 1, 2021, the "ten-year fishing ban" was officially implemented in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin. In September 2019, under the overall strategy of "Great Protection of the Yangtze River" in China, Jiangxi Province issued the "Implementation Plan for No Fishing in Key Waters of the Yangtze River Basin in Jiangxi Province", and decided to completely ban fishing from January 1, 2020.
It is understood that from 0: 00 on May 1, 2020, productive fishing is prohibited within the waters under the jurisdiction of Ganjiang and Fuhe Nanchang. In mid-September, 2020, more than 600 fishermen engaged in fishing in Ganjiang River for nearly 300 years washed their feet and went ashore, and 140 fishing boats and all fishing gear were collectively recovered. The fishing history of Ganjiang River in Yangzizhou Town officially withdrew from history.
Dai Nianhua suggested that scenic spots can be built near the waters where finless porpoises frequently occur, guiding the fishermen who have retired to explore tourism projects such as farmhouse music and finless porpoise research, and transforming the unique ecological resources into "Jinshan Yinshan".
