China, Vietnam release 43 million fish, prawn into Beibu Gulf

Xinhua,May 08, 2018 Adjust font size:

NANNING, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Representatives from China and Vietnam on Tuesday released 43 million young fish and prawn into the Beibu Gulf, which is bordered by the two countries.

Six kinds of fish, including snapper and grouper, and two kinds of

prawn were released into an estuary in Dongxing city in southern China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

The release, the second of its kind in a year, is a joint effort by the

two countries to increase biodiversity and protect fishery resources in the

area.

Since the release in May last year, output of the released fish increased 20 percent year on year, according to monitoring by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

Beibu Gulf is a traditional fishery area for fishermen from both countries. China and Vietnam signed agreements on the demarcation of the gulf and cooperation on fishing in 2000. Enditem
