Caspiosoma caspium (Kessler, 1877)

A native marine/fresh- and brackish-water species, sporadically found in fresh and marine waters of Romania ( Nalbant 2003; Maximov & Zaharia 2010; Cocan & MireȘan 2018), most likely near the Danube Delta , for it was also found from the Ukrainian side in common border waters in the Danube Delta area ( Smirnov 2009). However, it was “not recorded in waterbodies of Ukraine in the last few years” ( Manilo, 2020) (although it was found in 2021 in the lower Dniester in the Republic of Moldova — Bulat et al. 2021).
