Huso huso RUSSIAN FEDERATION Distribution in range State: H. huso was reported to occur in the Caspian Sea, the Volga River and the Sea <strong>of</strong> Azov (Kottelat and Freyh<strong>of</strong>, 2007). The species was believed to no longer use the Terek and Sulak Rivers (Khodorevskaya et al., 1997). Population trends and status: Natural reproduction <strong>of</strong> H. huso in the Volga river declined following construction <strong>of</strong> the Volgograd dam, with the amount <strong>of</strong> spawners harvested annually decreasing from 630 tonnes in 1991 to 140 tonnes in 1995 (Khodorevskaya et al., 1997; Ivanov et al., 1999; Kottelat et al., 2009); similarly, decreases in spawning numbers were reported from 26 000 over the period 1961-1965 to 2800 over the period 1996-2002 (Khodorevskaya et al., 2009). In 2000, it was reported that fishermen had been unable to find enough sturgeon to meet their quotas (Speer et al., 2000). In an effort to counter declines, the Soviet Union initiated an extensive stocking program in the early 1950s that, together with strict control <strong>of</strong> the fishery, maintained harvests (Vecsei et al., 2002). Declines in natural reproduction placed increasing reliance on artificial reproduction, yet by the mid-1990s, several hatcheries along the Volga River were reported to have closed due to lack <strong>of</strong> funding and insufficient numbers <strong>of</strong> broodstock, which led to “a severe decline in the number <strong>of</strong> young fish released and an inability to compensate for the lack <strong>of</strong> natural reproduction” (Graham and Murphy, 2007). Observations <strong>of</strong> individuals from the Volga River revealed that spawning migrations comprised almost entirely first-time spawners (Vecsei et al., 2002). Populations in the Sea <strong>of</strong> Azov were believed to consist entirely <strong>of</strong> hatchery-reared fish (Volovik et al., 1993, cited in TRAFFIC International et al., 2000). Threats: Uncontrolled overfishing and poaching were major threats to sturgeons in the northern part <strong>of</strong> the Caspian Sea basin (Khodorevskaya et al., 1997). Water pollution was also a threat (Dumont, 1995; Khodorevskaya et al., 1997). <strong>Trade</strong>: According to the CITES <strong>Trade</strong> Database, direct exports 2000-2010 were reported by the Russian Federation in 2000 and 2001, and consisted <strong>of</strong> wild-sourced caviar and meat exported for commercial purposes (Table 26). Imports <strong>of</strong> wild-sourced caviar were reported by trading partners in all years 2000-2007. With the exception <strong>of</strong> 2006, all annual reports to CITES have been received from the Russian Federation. No trade originating in the Russian Federation has been recorded within the Caviar Database. Between 2000 and 2010, the Russian Federation published export quotas for wild-sourced H. huso caviar (Table 27), meat, food and canned products and, in the year 2000, quotas for caviar and meat originating in Azerbaijan but re-exported via the Russian Federation. According to data in the CITES <strong>Trade</strong> Database 2000-2010, exports <strong>of</strong> wild-sourced caviar were within the quota in every year, with the exception <strong>of</strong> 2006 (Table 27). Re-exports <strong>of</strong> H. huso originating in the Russian Federation between 2000 and 2005 consisted principally <strong>of</strong> wild-sourced caviar (2961.9 kg as reported by re-exporters), with the majority for commercial purposes. No indirect trade in wild-sourced caviar has been recorded since 2007. Statistics from the FAO fisheries department (FAO, 2011b) indicated H. huso capture production from the Russian Federation 1992-2009 totalling 1689 tonnes (Table 28). Table 28.
