A research group led by Prof. GUO Chuanbo from the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, demonstrated through a whole-lake experiment that moderately intensive SFR can enhance biodiversity and trigger synergistic ecosystem recovery.
A research team led by Prof. BI Yonghong from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with first author LI Yuan from Taiyuan University of Science and Technology, uncovered the climate-driven decoupling of nitrogen and phosphorus redistribution patterns in China's inland waters. The study was published in Environmental Research.
The research team led by Prof. GUO Chuanbo at the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made important advances in elucidating the effects of targeted fish removals (TFRs) on multidimensional native fish diversity and ecosystem functioning within freshwater protected areas.
A system referred to as the "super AI babysitter" is now being used to monitor the endangered Yangtze finless porpoise in Wuhan, Hubei province.
China's monitoring technologies and conservation experience for the critically endangered freshwater cetacean, the Yangtze finless porpoise, have been thoroughly studied and adopted by neighboring Southeast Asian countries through in-depth academic and ecological exchanges.
"Taotao," the world's first Yangtze finless porpoise to be naturally bred and raised in human care, celebrated its 21st birthday on Sunday.
In his presentation, Prof. Brosse offered a synthetic view of the distribution patterns of freshwater fish diversity at both global and regional scales, with particular attention to anthropogenic pressures.
Prof. Alexey Smirnov from St. Petersburg State University visited the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on June 13, 2026 for academic exchanges and discussions on future collaboration in protist research.
Two leading researchers from the University of Pennsylvania delivered invited lectures on May 25, 2026 at the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as part of the Institute's Innovation Series 2026.
This marks the third CAS-level field station established by IHB, following the Donghu Experimental Station of Lake Ecosystems and the Chishui Field Observation and Research Station for Rare and Endemic Fish Conservation and Aquatic Biodiversity.
On 5 August, 2026, IHB deputy director XIE Shouqi led a team to the Main Campus, Guanqiao Campus, Liangzi Lake Campus, and Hanyang vessel team, where they toured ongoing projects and distributed heat-relief supplies to workers on site.
The visit focused on strengthening collaboration between the institute and the local administration in areas including Yangtze River conservation, scientific innovation, integrated ecological and cultural tourism, and national-level research platform development.
I feel lucky that I’m finally able to fulfill my dream to spend time immersing myself into Chinese culture, learning Chinese customs and enjoying the most delicious food in the world.
