Yangtze River Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences

The Yangtze River Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences was established in 1958. It is an important force in freshwater fisheries research in China and has achieved fruitful results in fishery resource protection, aquaculture innovation, and fishery ecology research.
In terms of fishery resource protection, researchers have long monitored aquatic organisms in the Yangtze River, tracked the dynamics of fish and other organisms, provided experience for the protection of endangered species, and also supported the implementation and evaluation of the Yangtze River "ten-year fishing ban" policy. In the field of aquaculture innovation, an advanced germplasm resource bank has been established, multiple new varieties with fast growth, strong disease resistance, and high-quality meat have been bred, and green aquaculture technologies have been promoted to improve efficiency and reduce pollution. In terms of fishery ecology research, it conducts in-depth exploration of ecological environmental evolution, carries out ecological restoration, provides scientific basis for government decision-making, and promotes ecological protection in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
