northern portions. It is more saline on the Iranian shore, where the
catchment basin contributes little flow.
The Caspian Sea is the largest inland body of water in the world and
accounts for 40 to 44 percent of the total lacustrine waters of the
world.
The Caspian Sea holds great numbers of sturgeon, which yield eggs that
are processed into caviar.
The Caspian seal (Phoca caspica, Pusa caspica in some sources), which

Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan.
The Caspian Sea lies east of the Caucasus Mountains and dominates the
flat expanses of western Central Asia.
The narrow, elongated basin of the Caspian Sea extends for almost 750
miles (1,200 kilometers) from north to south, with an average width of
only 200 miles (320 kilometers).
The Caspian Sea is the biggest enclosed body of water on Earth,
having an even larger area than that of the American Great Lakes or
that of Lake
