Clupeidae Atlantic herring

Atlantic herring

Clupeidae

Clupea harengus · Least concern

Even one of the most abundant fish on Earth has known collapse. In the Baltic, overfishing combined with the cooling of the Little Ice Age in the mid-16th century nearly wiped out the autumn-spawning Atlantic herring, and spring spawners took their place in the fisheries.

Clupeidae

Sardina pilchardus · Least concern

Sardine or pilchard: it is the same fish. The young are sold as sardines and adults as pilchards. It was the first sardine ever described. In the Mediterranean it makes up almost half of the catch of small open-sea fish.

Clupeidae

Sprattus sprattus · Least concern

This little herring rarely grows beyond 16 cm, but it has a long list of names: Baltic herring, brisling, garvie, skipper, Russian sardine and more. Fished especially in Scandinavia, it ends up canned, smoked, fried or turned into fish meal. Its numbers swing widely, especially in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
