BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) — Local fishermen went down to Lake Xingkai (Khanka) on Tuesday and cast their nets to haul in the first batch of fish, marking the end of the seasonal fishing ban on the largest lake on the China-Russia border, Zhongxinshe News Agency reported.
Lake Xingkai, located in the southeast of Heilongjiang Province /Northeast China/ and in the Primorsky Territory of the Russian Far East, is the largest border lake of the two countries. Its water surface area is 4,380 square kilometers.
Shinkai has rich fish resources. According to research, there are 65 species of fish in the lake. In order to ensure biodiversity and promote sustainable fisheries development, a seasonal fishing ban has been in place in this lake since 1952.
This year, a 40-day fishing ban on the lake began in early June.
According to a local border control official, patrols will be stepped up during the fishing season and measures will be taken to prevent and combat illegal fishing activities to ensure security and stability in the border areas. -0-
