Central SOEs Take Responsible for Animal Protection

The Chinese sturgeon, one of the oldest vertebrates on the Earth which was first around as long as 140 million years ago, is now a national first-level protected animal in China. On April 22, China Three Gorges Corporation released 10,000 second filial generation Chinese sturgeons into the Yangtze River in Yichang of Central China's Hubei province. It was the 62nd releasing of such fish and the largest. Next, the company will monitor migration of the released fish by a sonar tracking system. [Photo/sasac.gov.cn]
