A recent scientific study has confirmed the return of the critically endangered Chinese bahaba, often nicknamed the "panda of the sea," to the waters of Hong Kong. Researchers verified the presence of the rare fish through environmental DNA extracted from seawater samples.
The elusive species had evaded scientific capture in the region for more than ten years. The breakthrough was achieved using cutting-edge genetic techniques, allowing scientists to detect the fish without needing to physically catch a specimen.
