| | The Chinese are well aware of this loss of biodiveristy, and if you can call it proactive management, they are extensively calling on Russian fisheries consultatants to train them in the culture of the highly visible sturgeon and paddlefish species. | | | The construction of the Gezhou Dam (38 km downstream from the TGD) in 1981 led to sharp declines in the populations of three endemic ancient fish species, Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis), River sturgeon (A. dabryanus), and Chinese paddlefish (Psephurus gladius) (3). | | | The spawning of Chinese paddlefish was also severely impaired by the completion of the Gezhou Dam, and since 1988, only 3 to 10 adults have been found below the dam annually. |
