Comments |
Widely introduced outside Europe in Anatolia, Ob, and Amur drainages (Asian Russia) (Ref. 59043). Fish that were introduced into the Novosibirsk Reservoir dispersed downstream the Ob river to the Ob and Taz estuaries. Those that were transferred to Lake Khanka later dispersed into the Amur basin. It is periodically recorded in the Black Sea along the Caucasian shoreline from the Bay of Novorossiik to Tuapse (Ref. 26334). This has been translocated to areas within the country for stocking in open waters. It has rapidly expanded its range and is now widely established in the country (Ref. 45022).
