Several fishermen in Aijia Township in Yichang City of central China's Hubei Province spotted the fish in the Yangtze River last Friday, according to He Guangwen, head of the city's fisheries administrative office.
"It's very rare to see so many cowfish at the same time," He said. "Such a scene hasn't been spotted in more than a decade."
Cowfish, listed under state second-level protection, live mainly in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake.
The total population of the species is only about a thousand. (WDY)
