Dabry's sturgeon (Acipenser dabryanus), also known as the Yangtze sturgeon, Changjiang sturgeon and river sturgeon, is a species of fish in the sturgeon family, Acipenseridae.[5] It is endemic to China and today restricted to the Yangtze River basin,[1] but was also recorded from the Yellow River basin in the past.[6][7] It was a food fish of commercial importance. Its populations declined drastically, and since 1988, it was designated an endangered species on the Chinese Red List in Category I and commercial harvest was banned.[5][1] It has been officially declared extinct in the wild by the IUCN as of July 21, 2022.[1]
