The Ehiravinae are a subfamily of the herring (Clupeidae), which occurs mainly in freshwater and brackish water biotopes on the coast of the western Indo-Pacific.
features
With the exception of the Clupeonella species, which can be up to 20 cm long, the Ehiravinae are small fish that only reach body lengths of a maximum of 9 cm. The monophyly of the subfamily is supported by three molecular characteristics and possibly by a morphological characteristic, namely the fusion of two vertebral centers in the caudal spine ("fusion of the first ural centrum with the first preural centrum"). The latter does not occur in Clupeoides , although this is considered a secondary loss.
