When is the fishing ban in 2019
On March 1, 2019, the law enforcement supervision boat inspected Pengxi River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. From 0:00 on March 1, the Yangtze River, the Pearl River and the Qiantang River entered a four month fishing ban.
This year is the first year that the Qiantang River Basin has been incorporated into the unified fishing ban system in relevant waters to the south of the Yangtze River Basin, and it is also the first year that the special permission fishing for Coilia nasus, Coilia Mystus and Eriocheir sinensis in the Yangtze River Basin has been cancelled. It is understood that the fishery authorities in charge of the basin will simultaneously carry out joint law enforcement inspection. The Yangtze River Office of the Ministry of agriculture and rural affairs has dispatched fishery law enforcement personnel to the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as the Pearl River and Huaihe River to carry out patrol law enforcement inspection.
