Note sulla sistematica - Si veda l'introduzione della famiglia per commenti generali. Vlasenko et al. (in Holcík, 1989: 298-305) riporta differenze biochimiche e morfologiche (ma non afferma esplicitamente quali differenze) tra diversi stocks. Nel bacino del danubio sono conosciute "razze" migratorie e non migratorie.
