湘江是我省最大的河流,也是长江的主要支流之一。在渔业上有它特殊的地位,不仅因为它本身蕴藏着丰富的鱼类资原,而且它是我国具有悠久历史的家鱼产卵场的三大产区之一。所以湘江鱼类资原的盛衰,不仅关系到湘江本身的鱼业产量,而且对整个洞庭湖和长江流域鱼类资源的增殖,都有着极为密切的关系。 Xiangjiang River is the largest river in our province and one of the major tributaries of the Yangtze River. It has a special status in fisheries not only because it contains abundant fish stocks, but also is one of the three major producing areas for our country’s long history of fish spawning grounds. Therefore, the prosperity and decline of the fish stocks in the Xiangjiang River are not only related to the output of the Xiangjiang River itself but also have a very close relationship with the growth of fish resources in the entire Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River.
