The man caught a rare strange fish, which was actually a wild Chinese sturgeon
Two days ago, a fisherman in Taihe County, Ji'an caught an unprecedented fish in the Ganjiang River. After it was handed over to the local Forest Public Security Bureau, it was identified by aquatic experts as a rare national first-class key aquatic protected animal.
Early that morning, Kang Xinghua, a villager from the fishing village of Chengjiang Town, Taihe County, came to the Forest Public Security Bureau of Taihe County and handed over a fish weighing more than half a kilo he had just caught to the police. " I don't know what it's called. It's very rare. Take it to the relevant unit for identification, and then release it. "
The police found that the fish had a pointed mouth on its triangular head and hard scales and rhombic bone plates. It was preliminarily judged that it should belong to sturgeon. However, due to the large number of hybrid varieties of sturgeon, the police invited local aquatic experts to have a careful look.
'we measured that the fish is 43 cm long and weighs 0.27 kg. There are five longitudinal bone scales on its body surface. After our communication with provincial and municipal experts, according to these characteristics, we preliminarily identified this Chinese sturgeon as a national first-class key aquatic protected animal, which is still relatively rare in Ganjiang. "
Chinese sturgeon is a first-class key protected wild animal in China. It is a rare ancient fish left in the Mesozoic 150 million years ago. It is known as "living fossil" and "giant panda in water". It has high scientific research, medicinal and ornamental value. It generally inhabits in rivers and offshore waters, and is very rare in tributaries of the Yangtze River. After the staff of the Aquatic Station confirmed that the Chinese sturgeon was not injured and had good signs, the forest public security police and fishermen released it to Ganjiang River in time.
The police encouraged and thanked Master Kang for his behavior. They also hoped that if you encounter similar situations in the fishing process, you'd better release them in time.
