BEIJING, June 10 (Xinhua) — A 35-day fishing ban will be officially imposed on the Ussuri River, which partially flows along the Chinese-Russian border, from 00:00 on June 11, the Zhongxinshe news agency reported.
The Ussuri is a right tributary of the Heilongjiang River /Amur/. The total length is 890 km, of which 500 km are within China. The river is rich in fish resources, including carp, halim, grayling, kaluga, and sturgeon. In order to protect and restore fish resources, China and Russia regularly impose a ban on fishing on the river.
Currently, a ban on fishing on the Ussuri River and its tributaries, including the Sungach, Mulinkhe and Nalikhe, is introduced twice a year – in the summer /from June 11 to July 15/ and in the autumn /from October 1 to 20/.
In the next 35 days, any fishing on the Ussuri will be prohibited, the local public safety department reminded. In order to tighten the fight against poaching and ensure safety, border checkpoint employees have increased patrols.
Earlier this month, a 40-day fishing ban was officially imposed on Lake Xingkai, located on the Chinese-Russian border. -0-
