Hasu aka Three-lips (Opsariichthys uncirostris uncirostris) live in Eastern Siberia to northern Korea and China and Japan. Hasu are members of the carp family. They are silver in appearance and have a mouth that vaguely resembles that of a sock-eye salmon. Although good eating few people fish for them or eat them anymore.
