The sturgeons released into the river will help boost the endangered species' survival rate in the wild and enhance their generic diversity, said Li Zhiyuan, deputy director of CSRI.
Li said the sturgeons sent back to the wild include both junior and adult fishes with relatively larger sizes to enrich the species' population of different age groups.
