Menhaden
Menhaden, also known as mossbunker, bunker, and "the most important fish in the sea", are forage fish of the genera ''Brevoortia'' and ''Ethmidium'', two genera of marine fish in the order Clupeiformes.

It is generally thought that Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony), Pilgrims were advised by Tisquantum (also known as Squanto) to plant menhaden with their crops.

The range of Gulf menhaden encompasses the entirety of the Gulf of Mexico nearshore waters, with the exception of the extreme eastern Yucatan and western Cuba.FAO 2002.

Bulletin of the Florida State Museum, Biological Sciences 15:91-162. and DNA analyses suggest that the Gulf menhaden is the Gulf of Mexico complement to the Atlantic menhaden (''Brevoortia tyrannus''). Both species support large commercial reduction fisheries, with Gulf menhaden supporting the second largest fishery, by weight, in the United States.Pritchard, E.S. 2005.

Brevoortia Tyrannus
The Atlantic menhaden (''Brevoortia tyrannus'') is a North American species of fish in the herring family, Alosidae. Atlantic menhaden are found in North Atlantic coastal and Estuary, estuarine waters from Nova Scotia south to northern Florida. They are commonly found in all salinities of the Chesapeake Bay and Mid-Atlantic water. They swim in large schools that stratify by size and age along the coast. Younger and smaller fish are found in the Chesapeake Bay and southern coastline while older, larger fish are found along the northern coastline. Characteristics Atlantic menhaden are silvery coloured fishes characterized by a moderately compressed body and a black spot on their shoulder behind their gill openings. They can reach a size of approximately 15 inches. Biology Diet The Atlantic menhaden is a filter feeder; it collects food by filtering water through modifications of the Pharyngeal apparatus, branchial apparatus (gill arches and gill rakers). Its diet depends on the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
