Amid the crystal-clear waters of Sayram Lake in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, a Mongolian herder named Bat is helping rewrite the lake's history by successfully cultivating Coregonus peled in Xinjiang's highest and largest alpine lake.
The breakthrough not only ended the lake's "fishless" past but also sparked a full industrial upgrade, creating a complete aquaculture chain and showcasing local innovation-driven development.
The project has transformed a once-untapped natural resource into a thriving hub of ecological and economic activity.
