Wikipedia Abstract

Stenodus leucichthys is a species of freshwater whitefish in the family Salmonidae. It is also known variously by the common names sheefish, inconnu, connie, nelma and beloribitsa. There are two subspecies, sometimes considered distinct species, one of which lives in Eurasian and North American rivers of the Arctic basin, the other in the landlocked Caspian Sea basin. If only one species is recognised, the genus Stenodus would be monotypic.

Populations from Kazakhstan, Russia and probably Azerbaijan are endangered (Ref. 12255).
