We all know that ACIPENSER sinensis is a first-class protected wild animal in China. As one of the oldest vertebrates on the earth, ACIPENSER sinensis has existed for hundreds of millions of years. Chinese sturgeon can survive for hundreds of millions of years, which shows that they are constantly adapting to the changing new environment. Acipenser sinensis has some morphological characteristics of its distant ancestors, so it is called a living fossil and also known as a giant panda in water.

In recent years, with the climate change caused by pollution and ocean acidification caused by overfishing, the output of Chinese sturgeon has gradually decreased. In order to restore their previous reproductive status as soon as possible, the state put them back to the upstream spawning ground. 1988 Chinese sturgeon is listed as a national first-class protected animal, and various protection measures have been built on the Chinese sturgeon rescue station. In order to protect the Chinese sturgeon, the state even introduced measures to ban fishing.

Recently, in Wansheng Village, Simen Town, Yuyao, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, a fisherman accidentally caught a wild Chinese sturgeon while fishing. It is understood that this Chinese sturgeon is more than two meters long and weighs about 50 kilograms. When he learned that he caught Chinese sturgeon, he immediately reported it to the local fishery administration. He himself said that this is more than 20 Chinese sturgeons he caught this year. Of course, he let everyone go, because as a law-abiding old fisherman, he naturally knew what he had caught. He also knows that Chinese sturgeon has always been a national treasure protected animal and is specially protected. Therefore, if the Chinese sturgeon is caught, it must be released. ACIPENSER sinensis is a key protected animal in China, and China has clear laws. Whoever illegally hunts and kills rare and endangered wild animals under state protection, or illegally buys, transports or sells rare and endangered wild animals and their products under state protection, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention and shall also be fined. If the circumstances are serious, they may even be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 10 years and less than 5 years. Through the law, we can also see the importance our country attaches to wildlife protection. Therefore, when fishermen catch Chinese sturgeon, they must release it at the first time, otherwise the only thing waiting for you is legal sanctions.
