The Clupeoidei are a suborder of the herring-like (Clupeiformes) which, with the exception of living in the West African freshwater sting herring ( Denticeps clupeoides includes) (Family Denticipitidae, subordination Denticipitoidei), all kinds of herring-like.
features
In the Clupeoidei, the lateral line does not extend over the body, but only extends one or two scales behind the gill cover , other lateral line scales with pores are missing. The caudal fin is supported by 19 main fin rays. The first uroneuralia is usually fused with the vertebral body of a particular vertebra (first prurale) of the caudal spine, the parhypurals usually separated from that vertebral body. This vertebra lies in front of another vertebra (first Urals), which in all herring-like species is fused with the second hypuralia . The swim bladder is designed very differently and extremely specialized in hatchet pegs. In the eggs the yolk is segmented (otherwise only in the butter ).
