Huso is a genus of large sturgeons from Eurasia. It contains two species, both of which 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.[4][5][6]
