> 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).
  More on author: Linnaeus.

Issue
The subspecies were not characterized well enough, that unless there is more evidence presented, Clupea harengus should be considered as one species with several known populations (S.Kullander, pers.comm. 07/09).
