Fishes . smoked fish the herring is found throughoutthe civilized world, and its spawning and feeding-grounds havedeterrhined the location of cities. The genus Clupea, of northern distribution, has the vertebraein increased number (56), and there are weak teeth on the other genera are very closely related, but ranging farthersouth they have, with other characters, fewer (46 to 50) alewife, or branch-herring (Pomolobus pseudoharengus),ascends the rivers to spawn and has become land-locked in 276 Isospondyli the lakes of New York. The skipjack of the Gulf of Mexico,Pomolobiis chrysochloris, becomes very fat in the sea. Thespecies becomes land-locked in the Ohio River, where it thrivesas to numbers, but remains lean and almost useless as food. Theglut-herring, Pomolobiis cestivalis, and the sprat, Pomolobussprattus, of Europe are related forms. \cr\ near also to the herring is the shad {Alosa sapidissima)of the eastern coasts of America, and its inferior relatives, the.

The American shad is the best food-fish in the family, pecu-liarly delicate in flavor when broiled, but, to a greater degreethan occurs in any other good food-fish, its flesh is crowdedwith small bones. The shad has been successfully introducedinto the waters of California, where it abounds from PugetSound to Point Concepcion, ascending the rivers to spawn inMay as in its native region, the Atlantic coast. The genus Sardinella includes species of rich flesh and feebleskeleton, excellent when broiled, when they may be eaten bonesand all. This condition favors their preservation in oil assardines.
