Alosa caspia is a species of alosid fish, classified as one of the shad species (genus Alosa) endemic to the Caspian Sea basin.[1]
FishBase treats separately three subspecies from the Caspian:[2]
- Caspian shad, Alosa caspia caspia (Eichwald, 1838)
- Enzeli shad, Alosa caspia knipowitschi (Iljin, 1927)
- Astrabad shad, Alosa caspia persica (Iljin, 1927)
Previously, the taxonomic circumscription and geographic range of A. caspia were broader, encompassing the Sea of Azov and Black Sea basins.[2][3][4] At one point, up to ten subspecies were recognised; these included forms now classified as Alosa tanaica (and its synonyms) and even the Balkan freshwater endemics Alosa macedonica and Alosa vistonica.[3]
