Popis: The paper reports the first reliable capture since the last 150 yr of two sturgeons in the basin of the River Pechora. Both specimens had the systematic traits of the Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii but differed significantly in external morphology. Data on biological traits and morphological parameters of the fish are presented. It is suggested that Pechora Basin should be included into the range of the Siberian sturgeon. Occurrences of the Siberian sturgeon in Pechora are discussed.
