5,500 Chinese sturgeons released into Yangtze River

The baby Chinese sturgeons added this time are 10 centimeters long on average to ensure they survive in the river, according to the Wuhan Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, which organized the release.

Wuhan has been releasing Chinese sturgeons into the river since 2002.

Believed to have lived at the same time as the dinosaurs, the Chinese sturgeon has existed for more than 140 million years.
