Distributed in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, but less than in the Caspian Sea.The main spawning grouand is the Volga. All spawning grounds are inaccessible for fish due to the presence of power station dams (Ref. 26334). Reported from Don (Ref. 58293) and Kuban River drainages (Ref. 58296). This has been translocated to areas within the country for aquaculture and stocking in open waters however, it failed to establish populations in areas where it has been transplanted to (Ref. 45022).
