"The size of nails, the whole body is transparent, the shape is like a peach blossom, and the whole body is full of tentacles. One sheet fits together." Recently, Xiangyin County Photographers Association member Yi Hui was in Xiashan, Yangsha Lake Town. When collecting wind by the reservoir, a kind of aquatic creature that had never been seen before was discovered. Mai Youhua, an agricultural technology extension aquatic product researcher at the County Aquatic Products Workstation, declassified-the organism is peach blossom jellyfish , which is a national first-class protected animal, is a world-class endangered species, and is known as the "water giant panda".
It is understood that the peach blossom jellyfish is an ancient and rare coelenterate , which appeared earlier than the dinosaurs. It is a veritable "living fossil" with high research value and ornamental value. It has extremely high requirements for the living environment and water quality. The living waters must be non-toxic and harmless, and the water temperature must not be higher than 35°C. "Peach blossom jellyfish grows from polyp to a jellyfish body, which requires a series of high-quality environmental conditions such as good natural environment, high water quality, and suitable water temperature." Mai Youhua said, peach blossom jellyfish can be described as a "wind vane" of water quality environment. Its appearance is the best evidence of the excellent water quality of Xiashan Reservoir.
In recent years, Xiangyin County has conscientiously implemented the concept of " green water and green mountains is the golden mountain and silver mountain", and further strengthened the comprehensive management and ecological restoration efforts, and invested in the improvement of water quality of Dongting Lake and Xiangjiang River, and agricultural development. Funds for prevention and control of source pollution, industrial pollution remediation, drinking water safety protection and treatment have exceeded 1.5 billion yuan. The restoration of river water ecology, steady improvement of wetland quality, reduction of soil erosion area, and active prevention and control of non-point source pollution have laid a solid foundation for our county to build a life community of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses.
