• Freshwater fishes of China: species richness, endemism, threatened species and conservation (2016, background): “Broad-scale analyses and syntheses of patterns in the diversity and distribution of freshwater fishes in China are otherwise limited (Fu et al., 2003).”
• River Rehabilitation for Conservation of Fish Biodiversity in Monsoonal Asia (2005, background): “A fishery law dating from 1986 and revised in 2000 proscribes fishing of rare and precious aquatic animals (Xu et al. 1999, Fu et al. 2003), and a National Red Data Book for threatened Chinese freshwater fishes has been produced (Yue and Chen 1998).”
• Status of research on Yangtze fish biology and fisheries (2009, background): “Therefore, the selection of appropriate tributaries to establish nature reserves is the best way to protect these fish species, and will help to protect the aquatic ecological system of the entire Yangtze (Fu et al. 2003; Park et al. 2003).”
• Fish and fisheries in the Upper Mekong: current assessment of the fish community, threats and conservation (2009, neutral): “Unlike the Yangtze River basin (Park et al. 2003, Fu et al. 2003), until now no special measures have been taken in the Upper Mekong to conserve fish biodiversity.”
• Biodiversity changes in the lakes of the Central Yangtze (2006, background): “…studies have documented the changes in aquatic biodiversity patterns and community structures in various rivers and lakes in the Central Yangtze at different periods since the 1950s (eg Fu et al. 2003); however, an integrated analysis on the status of biodiversity changes is not yet available.”
