Abstract

Abstract:

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.

Key words: Yangtze finless porpoise, biology, protection, progress, prospect
