Data from: Fishing ban halts seven decades of biodiversity decline in the Yangtze River

This dataset includes the attachments related to the research conducted by
Xiong et al., titled "Fishing ban halts seven decades of biodiversity
decline in the Yangtze River". Our study involved evaluating
effectiveness of the Yangtze fishing ban on improving biodiversity. We
detected trends of biological indicators before and after the fishing ban.
We also used Generalized Least-Squares-based Structural Equation Models to
identify drivers of biological trends. Results from the current study
bring hope for biodiversity recovery in other large rivers globally.
