So fourth or third?

And your facts are BS, Aral never was neither 4th, nor 3th largest sea with lousy 68.000 square km's... I could name you from top of my head about 10 seas that are way bigger than that.

Third - not sure about extinction because after they built a dam sea is getting bigger and not continue to get smaller
