Etymology: Pseudoscaphirhynchus: Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, skaphe = boat + Greek, rhyngchos = snout (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Lieutenant-General Konstantin Petrovich von Kaufmann (1818–1882) was trained as a military engineer and served in the Caucasus (1838). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Issue
Species of the genus Pseudoscaphirhynchus belong to the subfamily Acipenserinae, and not Scaphirhynchinae as it was previously considered (V. Birstein, pers. comm. 03/05 ).

पारिस्थितिकी
; स्वच्छ जल, अलवण जल; खारा ड़िमरसल; पोटामोड़िरोमस (Ref. 51243); गहराई सीमा 1 - 2 m (Ref. 109751). Temperate; 10°C - 20°C (Ref. 2059)
Asia: Former USSR: Amu Darya River from the Pyandzh to the mouths and lower tributaries. Sometimes in the brackish water of Taldyk Bay, the delta of the Amu Darya in the Aral Sea. Considered close to extinction (Ref. 6866). Registered in the 1984 USSR Red Book; 1985 Turkmen SSR Red Data Book; 1996 IUCN Red List (Ref. 35930).
Length at first maturity / आकार / वज़न / Age
Maturity: Lm 45.0  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 75.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 593); अधिकतम प्रकाशित वज़न: 2.0 kg (Ref. 593)
Its natural habitat and population have declined due to the breakage of the hydrological regime of the Amu Dariya River. Usual weight not more than 600-700 grams. Females with mature hard roe, very rare. Apparently sensitive to oxygen content in the water, changes in its chemical content, and to pollution. Fishing is prohibited (Ref. 35930). Spawns at 16° C (Ref. 719).
