More than 30 percent of fish species in the Yellow River have gone extinct, Chinese government officials reported this week.

"There used to be more than 150 species of fish living in the Yellow River, but one-third have disappeared for good," an unnamed Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) official told China's People's Daily newspaper.
