长江江豚生物学研究进展

自20世纪80年代以来,长江江豚种群量持续衰减,目前保持在1000头左右。近年来,长江江豚受到了极大的关注,研究也越来越多。2021年新修订的《国家重点保护野生动物名录》明确长江江豚正式升为国家一级保护野生动物。同时,随着2021年长江十年禁渔进入全面禁捕新阶段,长江大保护已由攻坚战转向持久战,长江江豚的保护工作也进入新阶段。本研究回顾了长江江豚的分类学、形态解剖学、种群生态学和保护生物学等方面主要研究成果,提出了相关研究展望。

Research Progress of Yangtze Finless Porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis) Biology

Since the 1980s, the Yangtze finless porpoise population has been declining, and remains at around 1,000 at present. In recent years, the Yangtze finless porpoise has received great attention, and more and more studies have been conducted. The newly revised List of National Key State Protected Wild Animals in 2021 confirmed that the Yangtze finless porpoise is officially promoted to the first class of protected wild animals in China. Meanwhile, as the 10-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River entered a new phase in 2021, the protection of the Yangtze River has shifted from a decisive battle to a long-term battle, and the protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise has entered a new phase. This article reviewed main research results of the taxonomy, morphology and anatomy, population ecology and conservation biology of the Yangtze finless porpoise, and discussed related research prospects.
