Huso

Huso is a genus of large sturgeons from Eurasia. It contains two species, which both are critically endangered:

Huso
Temporal range: 5–0 Ma
↓
Early Pliocene to Present[1]
Beluga sturgeon
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Acipenseriformes
Family: Acipenseridae
Subfamily: Acipenserinae
Genus: Huso
J. F. Brandt & Ratzeburg, 1833
Species
Synonyms[2][3]
  • Ichthyocolla Geoffroy 1767 non Agassiz 1846

Recent data indicate a polyphyletic origin of the genus Huso, and it is suggested that the two Huso species should be included in the genus Acipenser.[4][5][6]
