13 people were sentenced to prison for catching more than 5.8 tons of snails during the fishing ban period in Hongze Lake. Why is there a fishing ban period?

Snails are really a popular ingredient, and our country’s snail noodles have attracted a lot of customers, which has made snails famous all over the world. This is a creature that lives at the bottom of the lake, and its existence plays a very important role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. The Environmental Resources Court of Huaian City, Jiangsu Province heard a case of illegal screw fishing on the afternoon of December 4.

It involves 13 defendants, who illegally caught more than 5.8 tons of snails. This has aroused the attention of many people. This is also a case caused by their catching snails during the fishing ban period. When it comes to the fishing ban period, there is a lot of discussion about the prescribed time of the fishing ban season in our country. Generally, the fishing ban season in various parts of our country is set in summer.

This is also because the temperature in summer is high and the sunshine is relatively abundant, which leads to the rapid growth of algae in the lake, providing a lot of food for fish. And fish all grow in summer, which also means that setting the fishing ban period in summer is conducive to the reproduction of fish. This allows the species in the lake to become more and more numerous, thus achieving endless life and cyclic development. So the closed fishing season is a very important thing.

During the fishing ban period, no one should fish in the closed fishing area. This is also an illegal act. As one of the four largest lakes in my country, Hongze Lake’s ecosystem has undoubtedly attracted everyone’s attention. However, its ecosystem has suffered the most serious damage due to overfishing and excessive sand washing. Hongze Lake has also proposed a closed fishing season.

In this case, illegal fishing of snails in Hongze Lake is also irresponsible for the environmental protection of Hongze Lake and is worthy of condemnation by everyone. Of course, Jiangsu Province also started a ten-year fishing ban on Hongze Lake starting from October 10, 2020. Let Hongze Lake be able to recuperate on its own and promote the good growth of the creatures inside. In order to achieve species diversification, we will also benefit our descendants!
