Edits

Just started a cursory edit of the article will go through it more thoroughly in time. Their is a wealth of info about Atlantic herring on internet i have put one of the better sites in the external links. I think that info combined with what you have put in already Uwe should make for a well informed and interesting article. Do you think we could get Lupo and Salleman involved with helping edit and adding references? it would be cool if we could. probably could use some help with taxonomy box for Taxonomy reference goto *[1].

good idea, maybe it is better when you ask them - tax: we do it this way http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?ID=24&genusname=Clupea&speciesname=harengus%20harengus fishbase is made by a student of our Kiel group, now visited by 11 million a month, 1000 cooperators - amazing what the web can produce - there is also a lot of refs Uwe Kils June 28, 2005 20:51 (UTC)

Most Annoying Page EvER!! Can we please put the animated gifs on a diffrent page and link to them from here? This page takes forever to load and puts a huge strain on the server--Ewok Slayer --(User | Talk | Contribs) 02:33, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Most abundant?

The article says:

Atlantic herring is the most abundant species of fish on the planet

but doesn't give a reference. I've changed this to "one of the most abundant species of fish on the planet" as I can't find any evidence for the more definitive claim.

I did find some interesting surveys of abundance of fish larvae: Franco-Gordo et al. surveyed the Pacific coast of Mexico and found Bregmaceros bathymaster (

Myctophidae) and Vinciguerria lucetia (Phosichthyidae
) to be most abundant. Note that these are all very small mesopelagic fishes.

The omnivorous predator

The article doesn't list humans as predators because ... ?

The predator section should list

Homo Sapiens
as a predator? I would simply & provacatively add it myself but I don't have the research and I know it.

  • The "Morphology" section, currently two short sentences long, tells almost nothing about what the fish looks like.
  • The "Predators" is merely a listing of other species, and not even a proper sentence.
  • The prose and flow in other sections needs to be improved; there are too many one-sentence "paragraphs".
  • The extensive "Further reading" section needs to be converted into in-line citations so that the article is properly sourced.
  • There is a wealth of scholarly literature available on this species that has not been mentioned, so the article does not represented a good general overview of what's known about the topic.
  • Large areas of empty white space are unattractive and should be avoided.
  • The taxobox picture Herringadultkils.jpg lacks source information.
  • Some picture captions are very long; much of this caption text should be moved to article text and better described.

Common staple in (at least) European cuisine

Yet absolutely no mention of this fish nutritional value in human's diet. Major omission, not a good article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.231.199.99 (talk) 09:47, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are looking at the wrong article. Stop being so pompous and look at Herring as food. --Epipelagic (talk) 10:14, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ooh, thank you :) I seriously wasn't trying/feeling like/ to be pompous ;) I guess I just lacked the imagination to search for
"Herring as food" article, instead of just checking on the most obvious one, when given a jar of atlantic herring and checking it out
on my favourite website ;) Still, could have been easier to find or linked to from this article, IMHO :)
It is pretty strange that the only link to Herring as food in the article is in the template at the bottom. -165.234.252.11 (talk) 16:42, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
