Alosidae
The Alosidae, or the shads, are a family of clupeiform fishes. The family currently comprises five genera worldwide, and about 33 species. The shads are pelagic (open water) schooling fish, of which many are anadromous or even landlocked. Several species are of commercial importance, e.g. in the genus Alosa (river herrings), Brevoortia (menhadens), and Sardina. The Alosidae were previously included in the herring family Clupeidae.
