Family Clupeidae

Kottelat and Freyhof (2007) listed Alosa volgensis (Berg, 1913) from Iranian waters but we cannot confirm the presence of this species in Iran. The distribution range of this species is limited to the northern Caspian Sea. Alosa curensis (Suvorov, 1907) is poorly known and described from Kyzylagach Bay of Azerbaijan. We could not confirm the presence of this species in Iran.
