  1. common american shad

    The common American shad (Alosa sapidissima) is a species of fish in the herring family that is highly valued for its tasty flesh and eggs. Native to the East Coast of North America, from Newfoundland to Florida, this migratory fish spends most of its life in the ocean but returns to freshwater rivers to spawn. It is the largest in the herring family, reaching lengths up to 76 cm and weighing up to 5.5 kg. Recognizable features include its silver-colored body with a dark spot behind gills. Despite being named "Common" American Shad, their population has declined due to pollution, overfishing, and blocking of their migration routes by dams.
