The photo, taken on January 19, shows fish jumping out of the water at vast East Dongting Lake. Volunteers of the Yueyang East Dongting Lake Ecological Protection Association caught this spectacular scene during their patrol. The 10-year fishing ban along the Yangtze River started from January 1, 2021. Since then, the aquatic environment of the Dongting Lake has been improved in an accelerated way. The number of fish in some areas of the lake surged. (Photo/correspondent)
