China Enhances Fish Conservation Efforts in Upper Yangtze Region
China is intensifying fish restoration initiatives in the upper Yangtze River, including over 30 million fish releases and advanced monitoring techniques. These projects aim to improve biodiversity and river connectivity in a region critical for hydropower production.

China's fish restoration efforts in the upper Yangtze River involve the release of over 30 million fish and the marking of juvenile fish to monitor growth and migration. The Yalong River has seen cumulative releases exceed 30 million fish from 13 endemic species.
Additionally, over 7.52 million fish have been released in the upper Jinsha River segment. The Gongzui hydropower station's fish passage facility is now operational, creating a network across multiple hydropower stations, with more facilities expected by 2029.
Protecting rare species like the Yangtze sturgeon is also prioritized, with over 3 million released since 2011. These initiatives reflect a shift towards comprehensive ecological governance in the region.
