If You Want To Go To Herring School

Herring: Clupea harengus

The Gulf of Maine Research Institute has quite a bit of good information about herring posted on-line. 

Did you know: "The herring is a fish of open waters, traveling as a rule in schools of hundreds or thousands; single fish are seldom seen, or even small companies of a few dozen. As a rule all the individual members of a school are about the same size, whether large or small. It is not known how long any given school may preserve its identity as such."
