The China-Russia border river has entered a 20-day autumn fishing ban period, with over 700 fishing boats ashore

From 0:00 on October 1, the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River, the boundary rivers between China and Russia, entered a 20day autumn fishing ban period, focusing on protecting the crossborder spawning migration of salmon. The two rivers are subject to a total fishing ban of 55 days each year, carried out in two stages: the summer slackseason ban and the autumn ban. The Ussuri River is an important producing area for premium fish species such as "three flowers and five roes, eighteen sons." As waters jointly managed by China and Russia, the phased fishing ban is regarded as an important measure for both sides to jointly restore aquatic biological resources and maintain biodiversity in the river basin. On the first day of the fishing ban, the Shuangyashan and Jiamusi border management detachments under the Heilongjiang ExitEntry Border Inspection Station organized police officers to visit fishing spots along the river, explain policies and regulations to fishermen, and help carry fishing gear, dismantle boat engines, and tow fishing boats ashore. As of 0:00 that day, more than 700 fishing boats in the two areas had withdrawn from the operating waters, meeting the requirement that "boats be brought ashore, engines separated, and nets stored." In the following period, local authorities will also strengthen inspections through drones, patrol boats, and video surveillance to prevent illegal fishing.
