4.11 | Lotidae

Only single individual of Lota lota was caught in 1920 in the Kura River which was considered as an accidental migrant from the northern Caspian basin species (Abdurakhmanov, 1962; Derzhavin, 1949; Musayev et al., 2004). However, L. lota also occurs in Iran and might have spread from this area to the north.
