A research group led by Prof. HU Wei from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, collaborated with the team of Professor Vance L. Trudeau, uncovered neurons communicate via extracellular vesicles (exosomes) carrying secretoneurin, which in turn stimulates the development of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons.
A research team led by Prof. LI Qingman from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposes a new multi-level assessment framework for internal P release risk based on dilute-HCl extracted P (dHCl-P), providing a practical tool for sediment P risk evaluation in freshwater ecosystems.
A research group led by Prof. SUN Yonghua from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences used zebrafish as surrogate hosts with a maturation cycle of only three months, and successfully generated all-X sperm and all-female grass carp offspring within six months via surrogate reproduction.
In 2023, César left Europe, where he had studied for years, and settled in Wuhan with his family, joining the Institute of Hydrobiology, CAS. Through his personal experiences, he vividly exemplifies the warmth of Wuhan and its unique advantages.
Do Fishing Bans Work? The BBC journalist Roland Pease has been speaking to researchers about China's biggest river - the Yangtze River.
A comprehensive 10-year fishing ban implemented in the Yangtze River Basin has successfully halted a 70-year decline in fish resources and triggered initial ecological recovery, according to a recent study published in the journal Science.
Prof. Trudeau has maintained a long-standing collaboration with IHB’s Research Group on Fish Gene-Engineering. This visit aims to review joint research findings and discuss next steps for continued partnership, with the goal of achieving new breakthroughs.
The visit focused on discussions and exchanges regarding Sino-Ghana cooperation in fisheries ecological resource surveys, aquaculture technology, talent cultivation, and biosecurity system development.
A team of Chinese and Bangladeshi scientists made use of a China-made real-time acoustic monitoring system — dubbed "tech ears" — to detect 146 Ganges River dolphins. When the survey concluded on Jan 9, the team had identified multiple key dolphin habitats, including high-density activity zones near downstream sandbars.
On April 8, 2026, the people of Wuhan officially welcomed the Yangtze finless porpoise as the city's legal mascot.
Supported by IHB, the initiative is built around a core idea: a "Demonstration School for the Protection of Rare and Endemic Fish in the Upper Yangtze River" – the first of its kind in the nation.
The speakers provided in-depth responses to hot topics of concern, including the application of scientific research literature and information support for project applications, effectively addressing practical questions raised by the participants.
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.
