Sign in to saveAlso known as True herring
Clupea is a genus of planktivorous bony fish belonging to the family Clupeidae, commonly known as herrings. They are found in the shallow, temperate waters of the North Pacific and the North Atlantic oceans, including the Baltic Sea. Two main species of Clupea are currently recognized: the Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) and the Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii), which have each been divided into subspecies. Herrings are forage fish moving in vast schools, coming in spring to the shores of Europe and America, where they form important commercial fisheries.

Echte Heringe (Clupea) sind eine Gattung der Familie Heringe (Clupeidae). Es handelt sich um Fische, die in großen Schwärmen leben. Ihre Hauptnahrung sind Copepoden, kleine Krebse, die im Plankton leben. Der Körper ist länglich, der Bauch rundlicher als bei der Sprotte. Die Schuppen am Bauch sind nicht gekielt. Eine Fettflosse fehlt. Der Hering wird maximal um 45 cm lang, ist weiß geschuppt und glänzt silbergrün. Der frische Fisch wird grüner Hering genannt, in Abgrenzung vom Salzhering, der mittels Salz oder Salzlake haltbar gemacht ist.

== Morphology == The species of Clupea belong to the larger family Clupeidae (herrings, shads, sardines, menhadens), which comprises some 200 species that share similar features. They are silvery-colored fish that have a single dorsal fin, which is soft, without spines. They have no lateral line and have a protruding lower jaw. Their size varies between subspecies: the Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras) is small, 14 to 18 centimeters; the proper Atlantic herring (C. h. harengus) can grow to about and weigh up ; and Pacific herring grow to about .
