features
The Clupeomorpha differ from the other bony fish by their special tail skeleton, the second hypuralia is fused with the first vertebral center in all stages of ontogenesis . They also have a peculiar, double connection between the inner ear (labyrinth) and the swim bladder . The supratemporal (skull bone) is connected to the lateral line organ via the parietal bone (parietal bone) and supraoccipital (skull bone).
