Sinosturio
''Sinosturio'' is a genus of sturgeon native to the Pacific Ocean and associated river drainages in eastern Asia and western North America. Considered synonymous with ''Acipenser'' for nearly a century, it was revived as a distinct genus in 2025 to resolve the polyphyly of the former genus. Most species in this genus were previously placed in ''Acipenser'', aside from the kaluga which was previously placed in ''Huso''. The following species are placed in this genus: * ''Sinosturio'' ''dabryanus'' ( A. H. A. Duméril, 1869) ( Yangtze sturgeon) * '' Sinosturio dauricus'' ( Georgi, 1775) (kaluga Kaluga (, ) is a types of inhabited localities in Russia, city and the administrative center of Kaluga Oblast, Russia.

Sturgeons
Sturgeon (from Old English ultimately from Proto-Indo-European language, Proto-Indo-European *''str̥(Hx)yón''-) is the common name for the 27 species of fish belonging to the family Acipenseridae. The earliest sturgeon fossils date to the Late Cretaceous, and are descended from other, earlier Acipenseriformes, acipenseriform fish, which date back to the Early Jurassic period, some 174 to 201 million years ago. They are one of two living families of the Acipenseriformes alongside paddlefish (Polyodontidae). The family is grouped into five genera: ''Acipenser'', ''Huso'', ''Scaphirhynchus,'' ''Sinosturio'', and ''Pseudoscaphirhynchus''. Two species (''Adriatic sturgeon, H. naccarii'' and ''Dabry's sturgeon, S. dabryanus'') may be extinct in the wild, and one (''Syr Darya sturgeon, P. fedtschenkoi'') may be entirely extinct. Sturgeons are native to subtropical, temperate and sub-Arctic rivers, lakes and coastlines of Eurasia and North America. A Maastrichtian-age fossil found i ...
