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 *.

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 (Bregmacerotidae) to be by far the most abundant; Aceves-Medina et al. surveyed the Gulf of California and found Benthosema panamense, Triphoturus mexicanus (both Myctophidae) and Vinciguerria lucetia (Phosichthyidae) to be most abundant. Note that these are all very small mesopelagic fishes. Gdr 14:29, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

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.

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)


 * 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)


 * 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)
