Comments: Found in eastern Siberia, from the Yana to the Anadyr rivers (Ref. 27547). Transferred to northwestern Russia for aquaculture (Ref. 26334). This has been translocated to several areas for aquaculture (captive culture), escaped to the wild but failed to establish self-sustaining populations (Ref. 45022). Introduced in 1978 from Siberia to Kopore, Neva and Kovashi drainages. No evidence that this has established breeding populations (Ref. 59043). nEurRus
