One of the largest river fish species. Undocumented ones are claimed to be up to 2 tons and 9 metres long. Documented ones are up to 1.5 tons and 4.5 metres long.
Previously was everywhere in Russia up to northern rivers. Nowadays quite small and almost went extinct, remaining almost in the Caspian sea only.

It's not only because of that. Cascades of hydroelectric power plants prevented them from going up into the rivers. So there isn't much place for them to spawn.
Soviets tried to build some "fish lifts", but from what I've read it didn't help beluga. There should be something for such large fish probably.
We also have a relative of beluga. It's called kaluga, lives in Amur river. It's a bit smaller but also according to the evidence can grow up to 1.5 tons and 5-6 metres long. They're also endangered.

The species are protected, but still getting hunted by some poachers. Also this fish has very long life cycle, which is why it's hard to find big ones nowadays. For example wiki says that kaluga can reach its peak length and weight at 55 years old. There were also some evidences from China where kaluga was caught and those fish were like 350 kg and 53 years old, and 514 kg and 100 years old.

Continued reading the wiki. Damn, they're almost like humans
>Most Kaluga females become sexually mature at the age of 20-22 years with a length of 230-250 cm and a weight of more than 100 kg, males — at the age of 17-20 years with a length of 220-240 cm and a weight of over 80 kg.

Chinese people are evil
>Kaluga's population continues to decline due to pollution of the Amur River and unlimited commercial fishing by Chinese fishermen
>Fishing in Russian waters has been prohibited since 1958, and commercial fishing for Kaluga and other sturgeon has been legalized in Chinese waters.

idk but its a muddy shallow hot water fish, here its usually clear fast running rocky cold water. i think a few smaller species might live down south.
even glomma, our longest river that end far south, start as a crystal clear greenish river in the mountains close to me. i peed in glomma yesterday. it has some mudshark continental species around its outlet but is mainly salmoniade, pike, perch and burbot.

i dont get swedish fishers? you can have this, my record is 8kg salmon, 5kg pike and 2kg trout. yet "you" nothing personally come here and fish our rivers dry? im keen about nea and tya (google thoose rivers) and they where once regarded as the best fly fishing rivers in the world
>enter swedish fly fishers and they are empty
i had s long talk with a dude from sweden here and he admitted killing 20ish 1kg,+ trouts just that week, at the same spot in the river.
>it can handle it, they will grow back
yeah in years, and by then 10 of yours have done the same damage. norwegian rivers are cold and slow growing, they cant be harvested like the average swedish å.

The fresh water fish called Lostriță, which would be Huchen/Rotfisch in English and German, used to be more widespread and is said that it grew much larger.
Supposedly before the building of the large hydroelectric plant with Yugoslavia at the Iron Gates, these guys used to swim from mountains rivers in Moldova all the way into Austria and would get to immense sizes and were dangerous to small animals and even children were warned when playing in water.

At least that's the story some old people tell
