Known from the Black Sea and Sea of Azov and enters estuaries with low salinity and river mouths (the Kuban); transferred into the Caspian Sea; Baltic Sea, enters the Vistula and reaches the mouths of the Neva and Luga; White Sea and enters the Varzuga, northern Dvian and Mezen rivers; and Murmam Coast of the Bay of Pechora, entering the Tuloma River and rivers of Cheshskaya Bay (Ref. 26334).
