2 finless porpoises relocated, 'married' to optimize population diversity

Two male finless porpoises were transported from Hubei province to Anhui province on Nov. 8. The porpoises will be "married" to local females after they adapt to their new environment. It is hoped that they will boost the genetic viability of the existing population in Anqing, Anhui province. The porpoises, which previously lived in a nature reserve in Hubei, were born in Jiangxi province's Poyang Lake.
