The largest Chinese Sturgeon caught in the last twenty years will be brought to the Beijing Aquarium soon.
It was found injured in the Yangtze River in November 2004 and can no longer survive in the wild.
The Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences and the Beijing Aquarium are conducting joint experiments into artificial breeding and the domestication of wild sturgeon.
Numbers of Chinese Sturgeon have decreased drastically in recent years due to river pollution, busier shipping, illegal fishing and the building of dams.
The Chinese Sturgeon, one of the world's oldest vertebrates, is only found in China and is strictly protected by the government.
