During the Spring Festival, monitoring personnel monitored a finless porpoise with a tail injury in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River. Under the guidance of the Yangtze River Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, experts and volunteers from various departments, including the Nanjing Yangtze finless porpoise provincial nature reserve management station, formed a joint rescue team and successfully rescued it ashore on February 16th. It is the first case in China to successfully rescue the injured finless porpoise in the mainstream of the Yangtze River.
Fan Jieping, a reporter from Jiangsu Taiwan: "This is the underwater world in Nanjing. The injured finless porpoise, which was treated by people on February 16, is now being treated here."
From the afternoon of 16th to the morning of 17th, the team of experts successively inspected the finless porpoise with B-ultrasound, X-ray and other related items, so as to evaluate its health status.
Liu Kai, a researcher at the Freshwater Fisheries Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, said: "On the one hand, it is trauma, and the entanglement of sundries leads to serious injury and infection in the tail, including the tail-end. On the other hand, there is a certain degree of infection in the lungs of animals, and the situation is still serious."
Chen Dajun, director of the laboratory of Nanjing Underwater World Freshwater Aquarium Department and a veterinarian, said: "We used antibiotics for lung inflammation, and the other is that it hasn’t eaten for a long time, so we also gave it some amino acids to supplement its physical strength."
According to experts, at present, the female finless porpoise, which is 1.31 meters long and weighs 37 kilograms, has not taken the initiative to eat, and her body is still relatively weak. Next, they will pay close attention to the symptom relief of finless porpoises, and then come up with further treatment measures.
