Huso

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

  • Huso dauricus ( Georgi, 1775) (kaluga)
  • Huso huso ( Linnaeus, 1758) (beluga)

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.
