> Word of the day丨aquatic biological resources in Yangtze River Basin

每日一词丨长江流域水生生物资源

The aquatic biological resources in China's Yangtze River Basin have registered improved recovery momentum in recent years, a communique said on August 12. The communique, jointly released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and three relevant departments, said that the protection measures of the Yangtze River featuring the 10-year fishing ban have achieved solid progress.

农业农村部等四部门8月12日联合发布的公报指出，近年来长江水生生物资源总体呈现恢复向好态势，以十年禁渔为重点的长江大保护系列政策措施取得明显成效。

【知识点】

水生生物资源是水生生态系统的重要组成部分，也是人类重要的食物蛋白来源和渔业发展的物质基础。养护和合理利用水生生物资源，对于促进渔业高质量发展、维护国家生态安全、保障粮食安全具有重要意义。

2024年8月12日，农业农村部会同水利部、生态环境部、交通运输部联合发布《长江流域水生生物资源及生境状况公报（2023年）》（以下简称《公报》）。《公报》指出，近年来长江水生生物资源总体呈现恢复向好态势，以十年禁渔为重点的长江大保护系列政策措施取得明显成效。长江禁渔全面实施以来，水生生物资源监测每年会在各个监测点位开展两次，一次周期为十天，通过定期监测调查，获取最新的样本数据。

《公报》显示，长江水生生物资源持续恢复。2023年长江干流单位面积资源量同比上升16.7%；重要支流资源量增加64.3%。长江中游湖北监利监测断面的四大家鱼鱼苗资源量为59.8亿尾，是长江十年禁渔以前的4.4倍。长江水生生物多样性稳步提升。从长江鱼类特点来看，主要经济鱼类性成熟年龄一般为3到5年，禁渔10年后可以得到2到3个世代的休养生息，基本形成长江水生生物物种持续恢复，生态系统健康运行的良性循环。
