Its body length is up to 50 cm and its weight is up to 500-600 g. Lives mostly in the lower reaches of rivers and reservoirs. Propagates at the age of 3-4 years. In spring it runs for spawning to rivers from early May to midJune. The fish eggs are pelagic. Fertility is 10-58 thou eggs. The fries feed on zooplankton the adult fish apart from zooplankton feed on air insects and fish larvae. In the sea it made regular daily vertical migrations. Most widespread in the basins of the Baltic Black Azov Caspian and Aral Seas. A commercial fish it is caught during spawning runs.

It depends on the nature of the water and the salt balance of the sea the regimes of river flow atmospheric precipitation and evaporation water exchange between the sea and the neighboring territory as well as hydrological and hydrochemical processes in the sea proper. The horizontal and vertical distribution of S. in the sea was influenced significantly by the morphological peculiarities of the depression its type of circulation and mixing of waters and the processes of ice formation and melting. The results of regular monitoring of S. by hydrometeorological stations and surveys in the open sea during expeditions including century stations and profiles obtained by 1985 were generalized in the .

The average many-year S. in the period of the sea s natural regime varied from to with the minimum figures in the regions of river inflow. The annual maximum was observed in winter during intensive ice formation in shallow areas in particular. In spring during intensive thawing the .
