The meaning of the Yangtze River closed fishing season:

The system of closed fishing season in the Yangtze River is a measure to protect fishery resources in the Yangtze River basin. In 2002, the Ministry of Agriculture stipulated that Chishui River, Wujiang River, Jialing River, Minjiang River, Hanjiang River, Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake in Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province, Sichuan Province, Chongqing City and Hubei Province should be closed to the main stream of the Yangtze River from Deqin County to the Yangtze River estuary every year.

The fishing season from Deqin County to Gezhouba in Yunnan Province is from February/KLOC-0 to April 30 every year. From below Gezhouba to the Yangtze River estuary is from April/kloc-0 to June 30th every year.

From February, 2065438 to February, 2009, it was learned from the fishing ban meeting in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin that the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River and Hanjiang River was fully closed from 20021year1month. According to the actual protection, all districts in Wuhan can set up closed fishing periods and closed fishing areas for other waters according to law, and Wuhan plans to close fishing in Wuhan section of the main stream of Hanjiang River 10 year.

The background of the Yangtze River fishing ban:

1954 The catch of natural resources in the Yangtze River Basin reached 450,000 tons, and 1956- 1960 decreased to 260,000 tons. The average annual catch in 1980s was about 200,000 tons, and around 2003 it was about 654.38+10,000 tons.

Since the 1960s, the number of migratory species in the catch of the Yangtze River has decreased, and the catch tends to be smaller and younger. In the early 1960s, there were about 50 species of main economic fish in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

In the mid-1970s, it was reduced to about 30 species, and the reduced part was mainly semi-migratory fish that produced floating eggs and semi-floating eggs, which was closely related to the lake environment in the middle reaches. /kloc-in the 1990s, the number of major fishery objects was further reduced to about 20.

The migratory species of fresh water and rivers and lakes have become rare species in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and its main tributaries.

To this end, the Yangtze River Fishery Resources Management Committee, together with fishery superintendency agencies at all levels along the Yangtze River, organized various forces to conduct extensive and in-depth investigations on the fishery economic situation, fishing production and personnel engaged in fishing operations along the Yangtze River, and fully demonstrated them. 200 1 formally proposed to the Ministry of Agriculture to implement the Yangtze River spring fishing ban plan.
