The discovery of a Yangtze sturgeon in Hubei province has ignited hope that the species, which was believed to be extinct in the wild, will be able to restore its population in nature.

A large sturgeon was found in shallow water in the Yangtze, Asia's longest river, by a resident in Tuanfeng county, Hubei province, on Wednesday. Officials from the local fishery administration arrived at the site soon after they were notified.

The fish, which was some 96 centimeters in length and weighed 4 kilograms, was recognized as a Yangtze sturgeon.
