According to the Internet, when an Anhui netizen was playing by the river, he accidentally photographed a shocking scene: a group of soft-shelled turtles gathered on a big rock in the river, leisurely enjoying the sun. These soft-shelled turtles don't seem to care about the movements around them, basking in the sun by themselves, which has aroused heated discussions and speculation among netizens.
Where did these soft-shelled turtles come from?Why do they gather here?Does this mean that the ecological environment of the Yangtze River is gradually recovering?Netizens have raised questions. At the same time, some people expressed concern: "Are these soft-shelled turtles released by people?"If so, how will it affect the ecology of the Yangtze River?”
In fact, this group of soft-shelled turtles "gathering and basking in the sun" on the big rocks in the river may be only a part of the soft-shelled turtle population in this section of the river. According to a nearby fishing enthusiast, this Anhui netizen said that when they were fishing in the river recently, they often caught soft-shelled turtles, and even occasionally picked them up on the shore!
I used to not be able to catch a single soft-shelled turtle for a year or two, but now I often encounter it, and it feels like there are more soft-shelled turtles. A fisherman fishing by the river said.
However, there are different opinions on whether these soft-shelled turtles are "wild" or not. Some believe that this is the result of the fishing ban and shows that the wild soft-shelled turtle population in the Yangtze River is recovering;There are also those who believe that these soft-shelled turtles do not look like wild and may have been released by some people.
So, what is the truth?Let's dive in.
The implementation of the fishing ban is undoubtedly an important driver of this ecological recovery. The fishing ban policy has provided a safer living environment for fish, so that the wild soft-shelled turtles that already exist in the Yangtze River have better breeding and living conditions. In addition, the improvement of the ecological environment is also an important factor to promote the growth of soft-shelled turtle population. With the enhancement of environmental awareness and the intensification of governance, the water quality of the Yangtze River has been significantly improved, which also provides a more suitable living space for soft-shelled turtles.
However, some believe that these soft-shelled turtles may have been released. In recent years, with the enthusiasm of people for the act of releasing animals, more and more aquariums have been released back into the wild. However, not all released organisms can successfully adapt to the new environment, and some released organisms may die because they are unable to adapt to the new environment. Therefore, if these soft-shelled turtles are released, then their fate may be more tragic.
I think these soft-shelled turtles may have been released by someone else. A fishing enthusiast said, "Nowadays, many people like to release aquariums by the river, and maybe some soft-shelled turtles are among them." ”
Some experts agree with this view. They believe that the turtles may have been artificially released into the river. Due to the habit of drying their shells, soft-shelled turtles may gather on large rocks in the water or swim ashore because they are not adapted to the natural environment in the Yangtze River. If these soft-shelled turtles are released, then they may face an existential crisis because they are unable to adapt to the natural environment.
However, regardless of whether these soft-shelled turtles are wild or released, their appearance has aroused people's attention and thinking about the ecological environment of the Yangtze River. Today, the Yangtze River is facing serious ecological problems, with water pollution, overfishing and illegal fishing plaguing the Yangtze River's ecosystem. And the appearance of this group of soft-shelled turtles may be a positive sign of ecological restoration.
Of course, we can't ignore the influence of the human factor. Some people may think that releasing animals is an act of accumulating virtue and doing good, but in fact it may have a negative impact on the ecological environment. Therefore, we need to call on everyone to treat the release behavior rationally, respect the laws of nature, and not blindly release animals into nature.
At the same time, we also need to strengthen the protection and management of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River. Only through the joint efforts of the whole society can the ecological environment of the Yangtze River be better restored and developed. Let's look forward to a better ecological environment of the Yangtze River
