| Comment | Extinct in Ref. 137675. |

| Distribution | Gironde River population and from the North and Baltic Seas showing that different populations of A. sturio are genetically divergent (DNA sequence differences were found between individuals). |
| Quote | May be confused with A. naccarii, because they both use the same rivers for spawning in the past and local fishermen did not discriminate between these species. |
