The Uda ({{Langx|ru|Уда́}} {{IPA|ru|ʊˈda|}}; {{Langx|bua|Үдэ гол|Üde gol}}) is a river in the Buryat Republic, Russia. It is a right tributary of the Selenga, which it meets near the city Ulan-Ude. Its length is {{convert|467|km|mi|sp=us}}, and it has a drainage basin of {{convert|34800|km2}}.{{GVR|209885|Река УДА}}
The Uda basin lies in the Tuguro-Chumikanskiy region. The word Uda is derived from the Yakut word üüt, meaning "milk". The name was conferred on the river owing to a nearby milk-colored lake.{{cite web|title=Uda River|url=http://www.wildsalmoncenter.org/programs/russian_far_east/hot_spots.php?spot=uda|publisher=Wild Salmon Center|access-date=15 February 2013}}
Fish
The Uda is a prime habitat for the pink, chum, red, and coho salmons. Other fish species found in the Uda include the Siberian taimen, two forms of lenok, and Amur grayling. The river is especially important as it remains one of the last strongholds of taimen, which have dwindled in other Siberian rivers. Taimens grow to huge sizes here; specimens weighing {{convert|95|kg|lb}} have been caught here.
