摘要: Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China and flows into Yangtze River. It a traditional habitat for endangered finless porpoise, which has not been well investigated. To reveal distribution of porpoise Lake, 12 passive acoustic surveys were conducted along 123 km main channel during different seasons (spring transition season, wet autumn dry season) from 2008 to 2012. We counted number phonating porpoises encountered calculated detection rate (encountered individuals detected per kilometer). The median rates ranged 0 0.65 kilometer surveys. highest 0.50 was season. seasonal shrinking season may cause concentration narrow channels high incidence collisions with cargo ships fishing boats. Conservation actions should be focused on seasons. In addition, expansion existing reserve include areas necessary.
