330, 000 Tibetan endemic fishes released into Nyang River.

A total of 330, 000 Tibetan endemic fishes were released into the Nyang River in southeast Tibet's Nyingchi for the officially promoted biological resource multiplication program on July 26, 2011.

The released fishes were all native fish species, such as schizothorax o'connori, oxygymnocypris stewartii, schizopygopsis younghusbandi, etc.

Nyang River, the longest tributary of the Yarlung Zangbo River, is a major ecological river bestowed with beautiful natural environment in southwest China's Tibet. The fish-releasing activity is of great significance to the protection of Tibet’s native fishes and ecological environment of highland waters.

Supported by the provincial marine and fisheries department of southeastern China's Fujian, Tibet started to breed endemic fishes artificially in Nyingchi two years ago.

In 2009, 130,000 artificially cultivated schizothorax o'connori were firstly released into river at the confluence point of Nyang River and Yarlung Zangbo River.

In 2010, 500,000 more endemic fishes were released.

In the meanwhile, the regional animal husbandry station also started breeding native fish, later releasing 25,000 fishes into Lhasa River in 2010 and another 300,000 including schizopygopsis younghusbandi, oxygymnocypris stewartii and other kinds of fish early this June.
