Some 300,000 spawn of rare fish endemic to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River will be released from October 24 to November 7. Among the rare species, 50,000 Yangtze sturgeons，often referred to as the 'water panda' are included, a record number. Since the first release in 1984, the Three Gorges Corp has released more than 10 million rare and endemic fish in the Yangtze River basin by the end of September 2021. Photos: Yang Ruoyu/GT
