Abstract
The taimen Hucho taimen (Pallas, 1773), once was common in China, Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia, but now is disappearing from its native region. This vulnerable species has considerable ecological importance, but there are little data on its biology. The limited available data on its systematics, distribution, ecology, reproduction and threats are summarized and discussed.
