ALEWIFE {Pomolobus pseudoharengus) [at top]; HERRING {Clupea harengus) 
The Alewife variously known as the Branch Herring, the Blear-eyed Herring, the Wall-eyed Herring, and the Gaspereau, is found on our Atlantic coast 
from the Carolinas northward. The Herring family includes the Sardines, Alewives, Shad, and Menhaden. ^ Clupea harengus is probably the most important 
food fish in the world, and is distributed throughout the North Atlantic Ocean. Unlike most fishes, the Herring is particularly fine-flavored at spawning time.
