 | | The Chinese sturgeon is known as a living fossil as it is one of the oldest vertebrates in the world. |
 | | The rare fish migrates to the Jinshajiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze, from the sea and spawns there, and when the minnows grow to about 10 cm, they migrate back to the sea some 3,000 km away. |
 | | Zhang Hecheng, deputy director of the Fishery Bureau of the ministry, said that relevant departments will trace the young fish 's migration all the way to the mouth of the Yangtze, and publicity will be launched to enhance the awareness of the public to protect the rare endangered fish and other wild marine species. |
