Huanghe saury, also known as Mao saury, is a special product at mouth of Yellow River. The Dongying District of Dongying City is where saury from Yellow River must pass through to migrate, hence its name.
The shape of Huanghe saury is similar to a one-sided sharp knife, with a thick back and a thin belly. Every year in mid-March, according to lunar calendar, groups of saury swim into Yellow River from mouth of Yellow River, one after another Yellow River in Dongying region and Yellow River in Qihe region in in city of Dezhou flow into Dongping Lake in Dongping County, where they lay their eggs and hatch. After young fish hatch from eggs, they return to mouth of sea along Yellow River, where they grow and winter in Bohai Sea. After such a back and forth migration, it takes two or three years for swordfish to grow into an adult fish.
