Thousands of fishing boats set out in Zhejiang

A Sept 16 photo shows fishing boats setting out from harbor in Zhoushan city, Zhejiang province to East China Sea for a festival marking the start of fishing season. Thousands of fishermen have resumed their operations, as a four-month fishing ban ended on Sept 1. From May 1 to Sept 1, fishing was prohibited in rivers and offshore areas during spawning season for most aquatic life. [Photo/VCG]
