Alosa caspia is a species of alosid fish, one of the species of shad (genus Alosa) endemic to the Caspian Sea basin.[1]

FishBase treats separately three subspecies from the Caspian:[2]

  • Caspian shad, Alosa caspia caspia (Eichwald, 1838)
  • Enzeli shad, Alosa caspia knipowitschi (Iljin, 1927)
  • Astrabad shad, Alosa caspia persica (Iljin, 1927)

Previously the taxonomic circumscription and geographic range of A. caspia have been broader, encompassing also the Sea of Azov and Black Sea basins.[2][3][4] Up to ten subspecies were recognised; these included forms now classified as Alosa tanaica (and its synonyms) and even the Balkan freshwater endemics Alosa macedonica and Alosa vistonica.[3]
