China - Vietnam jointly release marine animals into Beibu Gulf

Agriculture authorities of China and Vietnam jointly released some 128 million fish, shrimps and crabs in the Beibu Gulf waters on Thursday to boost fishery resources in the sea area.

The event, jointly held by the two countries, took place in waters off the Dongxing City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

During this year's release, aquatic species including black sea bream, red porgy, saddletail grouper, river roman, redtail prawn, angrove crab and Chinese horseshoe crab, were released into the Beibu Gulf waters.

According to the data following the monitoring, research and evaluation by scientific research institutions, the output of key released species has largely increased, and the effect of resource recovery has been significant.

"The recovery rate of fish can reach 5 to 15 percent, with the rate for shrimp reaching 15 to 21 percent. The main economic varieties we released have increased for over three times," said Sun Dianrong, researcher from the South China Sea Fisheries Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences.

China-Vietnam fishery cooperation has a long history, and the positive interactions and cooperation between the two countries in this and other fields have brought tangible benefits to the people of both sides.

Since 2017, China and Vietnam have jointly organized six releases in the Beibu Gulf, with over 226 million fish and shrimps released in the previous years.
