BEIJING, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) — The Yangtze River finless porpoise population has increased to 1,426 individuals, up 177 from the 2022 target, thanks to a 10-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River effective Jan. 1, 2021, a press conference announced Friday.

The Yangtze finless porpoise is a first-class protected species in China, and its population status serves as a barometer of the Yangtze River's ecological environment. -0-
