Recently, the staff of the Ninghai County Natural Resources Planning Bureau successfully released a rare 80-centimeter-long baby fish in Baixi.
The salamander, whose scientific name is the giant salamander, is an ancient and mysterious amphibian known as a "living fossil". Its body is flattened, with a broad head, small, round eyes, a deep mouth fissure, short limbs, and a flattened tail. The ** of the salamander is smooth and moist, grayish-brown or tan in color, with irregular dark brown or black spots scattered on the body surface. As amphibians, salamanders can both swim in water and crawl on land. They usually inhabit clear mountain streams, rivers, or lakes and feed on small aquatic animals such as fish, shrimp, crabs, etc. The salamander has high ecological value and is one of the key species for biodiversity conservation. However, due to environmental damage and illegal fishing, the number of salamanders has been decreasing year by year and has been listed as a national second-class protected animal.
The baby fish released this time was discovered by local residents and called the police, and the Ninghai County Natural Resources Planning Bureau rescued and released the fish. After careful inspection and identification, the staff confirmed that the baby fish was in good physical condition and suitable for release, and after selecting a suitable release site - Baixi, the staff carefully prepared the release plan and ensured the smooth progress of the whole process.
Baixi is blessed with a unique natural environment and rich ecological resources, which provides ideal conditions for the survival of wild animals such as salamanders. This release not only provides a new home for the salamander, but also actively maintains the local ecological environment.
The staff of Ninghai County Natural Resources Planning Bureau said that they will continue to increase the protection of wild animals and make positive contributions to maintaining ecological balance and protecting biodiversity. At the same time, it also calls on the general public to actively participate in the protection of wild animals and jointly create a harmonious and symbiotic natural environment. Through popular science publicity and education guidance, more people can understand the living habits and conservation significance of rare wild animals such as salamander, and jointly protect our ecological home.
