Is it possible to fish in the Yellow River?

Fishing is allowed in the Yellow River, but there is a closed fishing season every year.

According to reports, in order to conserve the aquatic biological resources of the Yellow River and protect biodiversity, the former Ministry of Agriculture issued the "Notice of the Ministry of Agriculture on the Implementation of the Yellow River Fishing Closed Season System" in February 2018 to implement a unified system for the Yellow River Basin The closed fishing season system.

It stipulates that from 12:00 on April 1 to 12:00 on June 30 every year, the main stream of the Yellow River, the main reaches of 13 major tributaries and 3 major lakes are prohibited from fishing, and all fishing operations are prohibited. type, while allowing each province to appropriately expand the scope of the no-fishing zone and extend the no-fishing period based on local actual conditions.

For example, Inner Mongolia has designated natural fish spawning grounds and migratory rivers as year-round no-fishing areas, and extended the fishing ban period for the main stream and main tributaries of the Yellow River by one month; Ningxia issued a notice requiring that from April From 12:00 on the 1st to 12:00 on July 31, the 397-kilometer stretch of the Ningxia section of the Yellow River and ancillary waters such as river ditches and canal mouths will implement a fishing ban period.

The Significance of the Yellow River Fishing Ban

In the key life stages of aquatic biological resources, such as the broodstock breeding period and the larval growth period, the implementation of fishing bans can greatly reduce the intensity of fishing and utilization, so that The resources have been recuperated and replenished in quantity, which is conducive to the increase in the recovery of the Yellow River aquatic germplasm resources and the improvement of aquatic biodiversity.

Since 2003 and 2011, my country has implemented a fishing ban system in the Yangtze River Basin and Pearl River Basin respectively. Practice has proved that good economic, social and ecological benefits have been achieved. The implementation of a fishing ban system in the Yellow River Basin is a general trend for the conservation and development of aquatic biological resources.
