Occurs in the basin of the Arctic Ocean from the Ponoi and Varzuga to the Lena, in rivers of the Black Sea basin from the Dnieper to Kuban, and in the northern part of the Caspian basin (the Volga and Ural rivers) (Ref. 26334). This has been translocated to areas within the country for aquaculture and stocking in open waters where it has tentatively established self-sustaining populations, however has been extirpated in its non native distribution (Ref. 45022).
