Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | Catalog of Fishes( genus , species ) | ITIS | CoL | WoRMS | Cloffa

Teleostei (teleosts) > Clupeiformes (Herrings) > Clupeidae (Herrings, shads, sardines, menhadens)
Etymology: Clupea: Latin, clupea = sardine, derived from Clupeus = shield; doubtless a reference to the scales covering the body of the fish + Greek, odous = teeth (Ref. 45335 ) ;   pallasii: Named after Petrus Simon Pallas, great Russian naturalist and explorer (Ref. 6885 ) .
More on author: Valenciennes .

Gill cover without radiating bony striae. No distinctive dark spots on body or fins. Overlaps C. harengus in White Sea, but distinguished by fewer vertebrae (usually 52 to 55; cf. usually 55 to 57) and fewer post-pelvic scutes (10 to 14; cf. 12 to 16). Dark blue to olivaceous above, shading to silver below (Ref. 27547 ). Precaudal vertebrae: 29-31-32; caudal vertebrae: 19-22-22 (Ref. 265 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Neritic species (Ref. 11230 ). A coastal and schooling species (Ref. 188 ). Landlocked populations exist. Mature adults migrate inshore, entering estuaries to breed. During the summer of their first year, young form schools in shallow bays, inlets and channels that appear at the surface; these schools disappear in the fall and remain in deep water for the next 2-3 years (Ref. 6885 , 27547 ). Young feed mainly on crustaceans, but also take decapod and mollusk larvae; adults prey mainly on large crustaceans and small fishes (Ref. 6885 , 27547 ). Because it does not undertake extensive coastal migrations, the mixing of local populations is relatively rare (Ref. 27547 ). In the eastern Pacific, the fish is mainly caught for roe markets in Asia (Ref. 9988 ). There is a fishery for eggs laid on kelp, which when salted, is called kazunoko-kombu, and is considered a delicacy in Japan (Ref. 27547 ). Used in Chinese medicine (Ref. 12166 ). Utilized fresh, dried or salted, smoked, canned, and frozen; eaten pan-fried, broiled, and baked (Ref. 9988 ). Possibly to 475 m depth (Ref. 6793 ).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Oviparous (Ref. 265 ). A female turns to her side, deposits her eggs on the bottom and resumes an upright posture. This procedure is repeated until all eggs have been laid, which may take several days (Ref. 11548 ). As eggs are being deposited, males are releasing milt, fertilizing the eggs (Ref. 27547 ). There is no observable pairing of the sexes; the whole spawning area is white with milt (Ref. 11558 ).
