Acipenser sinensis belongs to Acipenseridae, Acipenseridae and Acipenseridae. Acipenser sinensis is an ancient and rare fish left over from Cretaceous, and it is also one of the most primitive fish in the world. Among more than 20 species of sturgeon in the world, it has the lowest latitude, the largest size and the fastest growth, and is unique to China. Because of its many primitive characters, it has become an intermediate type between cartilaginous fish and teleost fish, which has important academic research value.
Acipenser sinensis is a first-class protected wild animal in China and is known as the "giant panda in the water". At present, it is only distributed in the Yangtze River basin in China, and other rivers have been extinct, which has high scientific research, medicinal and ornamental value.
According to research records, because Chinese sturgeon is particularly precious, foreigners also hope to migrate it to their own rivers to breed. However, Chinese sturgeon is a large migratory fish, and it always loves its hometown. Even if some of them emigrate overseas, they have to travel thousands of miles to find their roots and migrate to the rivers in their hometown to have children. In the process of migration, they showed amazing hunger tolerance, hard work and the ability to find their way, so people nicknamed them "China".
In summer and autumn, the Chinese sturgeon, who lives in the shallow water outside the Yangtze River estuary, swam back to the Yangtze River and returned to the Jinsha River to lay eggs and breed after fighting for more than 3,000 kilometers upstream. After delivery, the young fish grow to about 15 cm, and they are taken to the high seas to live. In this way, they were born in the upper reaches of rivers and grew up in the sea for generations, and formed the habit of living abroad without forgetting their hometown. It is precisely because of this persistent regression and root-seeking habit that people call it "Chinese sturgeon".
