Listed as endangered by the IUCN, this duck species is known to occur in Uzbekistan. It usually occurs within larger wetland systems where there are semi-permanent freshwater, brackish or eutrophic lakes with a fringe of emergent vegetation (BirdLife International, 2019). Major threats include the drainage of appropriate habitat and hybridisation with the north American ruddy duck. It is noted to be present at the Tudakul and Kuymazar Reservoirs and Kagan Fish Farm KBAs. It is a migratory species.
