    Herring (Clupea harnegus) is referred to family clupenidae and is widely found in North Atlantic shoaling in large schools. Common size of Herring is 20-30 cm weighing 200-400 grams respectively. Herring have been salted in Europe for winter food for at least 1000 years. Disputes about access to Herring stocks started wars in medieval times and are still a problem for European Union.

Herring is widely used for canning and salting so the fat content is critical to produce better products.
