Summary：The aim of this 2008–2012 study was to prove the hypothesis that the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) and the upper freeflowing section can offer a habitat for restocking the Chinese sturgeon, Acipenser sinensis. Thus, 498 cultured A. sinensis (including 28 sub-adults tagged with ultrasonic transmitters) were released into the TGR and the adjacent free-flowing section of the Yangtze River. The distribution, movement and growth of the released fish were collected by acoustic telemetry and bycatch information.
