Huang Runqiu, China's Minister of Ecology and Environment, displayed a DNA detection chip on Thursday, noting that while small, the device contains detection data for aquatic organisms from 19 national monitoring sections in the Jiangsu stretch of the Yangtze River. The findings show that more than 20 new aquatic species have been recorded in the section over the past five years, demonstrating the tangible achievements of China's 10-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River.

Huang made the remarks during the third group interview of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) following the closing meeting on March 12. He noted that China's environmental oversight has entered a new era of digital, data-driven and smart governance.
