| "Yangtze Sturgeon" - stage 1. |
An extremely ancient life about to go extinct?
Tuesday 14 February 2012
Yangtze Sturgeon (part 1).
The "living fossil" that is the Chinese "Yangtze Sturgeon" is strictly protected. This does not seem to have stopped the decline of this 140 million year old line. In 2007, 14 young sturgeon were surveyed near the mouth of Yangtze compared with 600 the year before and that's after 10,000 fry had been release along with some more mature specimens.
