Introduction 234Overview of Acipenseriformes 234International harvest and trade 240Major global fisheries 241 Caspian Sea 241 Black Sea and Sea of Azov 245 Abstract The 27 extant species of sturgeons and paddlefishes (Order Acipenseriformes) represent a unique and relict lineage of fishes. Producers of coveted black caviar, sturgeons are one of the most valuable wildlife commodities on earth. The group is among the most endangered fishes with all species listed under Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) Appendix I (two species) or II (25 species), only two species considered Lower Risk by IUCN, four of the nine US taxa and one Caspian species protected under the Endangered Species Act, and local extinctions recorded for 19 of 27 species. Despite their well-publicized imperilled status, commercial pressure on 15 species persists.Here, after reviewing the biological characteristics of sturgeons and paddlefishes and their commercial use, an overview of global fisheries is presented. The synopsis demonstrates that, with few exceptions, sturgeon and paddlefish are imperilled across the globe and long-term survival in the wild is in jeopardy. All major sturgeon fisheries have surpassed peak productivity levels, with 70% of major fisheries posting recent harvests <15% of historic peak catches and 35% of the fisheries examined crashing within 7-20 years of inception. Even in Caspian Sea fisheries, the most important globally, present catches are below 10% of historic peak landings. Improved domestic and international fisheries management and attention to habitat and species restoration is now needed. Although captive rearing offers promise for caviar alternatives and endangered species restoration, it must advance cautiously to avoid environmental harm. To ensure a continued supply of caviar and the survival of these unique fishes we offer recommendations for priority conservation action for the future.

“…The water requirements for spawning in the lower Don, and conditions for fattening and feeding of anadromous and semi‐anadromous fish in the Sea of Azov were determined by Dubinina (1969, 1978) and Dubinina & Kozlitina (1976), and were applied in the releases from the Tsimlyansk dam. Similar criteria were later developed for reproduction of anadromous and semi‐anadromous fish on the spawning grounds of the lower Kuban and its estuary lakes (Gargopa 1979; Chebanov 1989), and for the lower Volga spawning grounds (Astakhova & Katunin 1971; Pavlov, Katunin, Alyokhina, Vlasenko, Dubinina & Sidorova 1989).…”

Water consumption from Russia's southern rivers has increased substantially in recent years as a consequence of intensified economic activity. The volume of irreversible river‐flow withdrawal from the Azov Sea basin varies between 11 and 13 km3 year−1. The majority of the abstracted water is used for irrigation. By 1990, the decrease in discharge into the Caspian Sea was 41 km3 year−1. Withdrawals of water from the Kura, Terek, Ural and other rivers have so far exceeded the ecologically admissible limits and become critical. The paper discusses methodological approaches for the elaboration of standards for water withdrawal and ecologically safe discharges into the southern seas. New data are presented on the dynamics of fish abundance as a function of the hydrological characteristics of rivers and water salinity. The results of the system analysis and regressive modelling formed the basis of a programme to develop policies for water management for fisheries in the lower Don. The principles and criteria for water withdrawal under variable hydrological regimes for the rivers entering the Azov and the Caspian Seas should be tested for their applicability for other water bodies (e.g. rivers, water reservoirs and lakes).

“…So far, integrated studies of N and P pollution of the Black Sea are scarce (EEA 2005). Some studies addressed eutrophication in the Black Sea (Cociasu et al 1996;Humborg et al 1997;Dubinina and Kozlitina 2000;Lancelot et al 2002;Ragueneau et al 2002;Ludwig et al 2009). However, their focus has mainly been on the North part of the Black Sea with special attention to the Danube River.…”
