The fossil record of this family dates back to the Miocene epoch, and was discovered by L. S. Berg in 1958.
Berg studied and determined the depth of the lakes of Central Asia, including Balkhash and Issyk Kul.
In 1946 he was nominated for election to full member of Soviet Academy of Sciences, but refused the nomination and supported Lev Berg.
