The study examines the impact of a fishing ban implemented in 2020 on the biodiversity of the Yangtze River in China. It suggests that the ban has halted a seven-decade decline in the river's biodiversity, allowing for the recovery of some species. However, the long-term effects and the full extent of the recovery remain uncertain and require further monitoring.
