On the life-histories of the British Clupeids, cf. Heincke, "Naturgeschichte des Herings" (Abh. Deutsch. Seefisch. Ver. ii. 1898); J. T. Cunningham, "Life-History of the Pilchard" (J. Mar. Biol. Ass. [2] iii. 1894, p. 148), and the manuals of the latter author (Marketable Fishes of Great Britain, 1896) and of M‘Intosh and Masterman (British Marine Food-Fishes, 1897).
