Alosa caspia (
Eichwald, 1838)
|
Alosa caspia is a species of alosid fish, one of the species of shad (genus Alosa) endemic to the Caspian Sea basin. [1]
FishBase treats separately three subspecies from the Caspian: [2]
Previously the taxonomic circumscription and geographic range of A. caspia have been broader, encompassing also the Sea of Azov and Black Sea basins. [2] [3] [4] Up to ten subspecies were recognised; these included forms now classified as Alosa tanaica (and its synonyms) and even the Balkan freshwater endemics Alosa macedonica and Alosa vistonica.
