	<dc:description>Amphihaline species, schooling and strongly migratory, penetrating far up rivers but not into small tributaries (Refs. 188, 59043). Adults are usually found in open waters along the coast (Ref. 51442). In freshwater, they inhabit major rivers but may also enter tributaries, if water  temperature is equal to or is warmer than the main river (Ref. 188, 10536). Known lake populations from Morocco and Portugal need access to rivers to spawn (Refs. 10536, 89647, 89648). Larvae and small juveniles inhabit deep slow-flowing areas of rivers (Ref. 89649), some swimming upstream in late summer and autumn (Ref. 10536). Juveniles (up to 1+ years) are usually found near estuaries or river mouths (Refs. 10536, 59043), possibly making vertical diurnal movements synchronized with the tides; they remain in estuaries for over one year (Ref. 89630). Adults primarily feed on a wide range of planktonic crustaceans; larger individuals feed on small schooling fishes (Ref. 188, 51442, 59043). Juveniles in freshwater prey on insect larvae. Females in European rivers commonly reach 70 cm total length (Ref. 10536). Females grow faster and are always larger than males of the same age (Ref. 10536). Less common than Alosa fallax but both have suffered from pollution and weirs or other obstructions (Ref. 188). It has been suggested that members of the genus Alosa are hearing specialists with the American shad (Alosa sapidissima) having been found to detect and respond to sounds up to at least 180 kHz (Ref. 89631). This may aid in predator avoidance (e.g. cetaceans) (Ref. 89632). Hybridization with the twaite shad (Alosa fallax) has been reported from the Rhine (Ref. 89633) as well as from rivers in France and Algeria (Ref. 10536). Shad hybrids may reproduce (Ref. 27567). Marketed fresh and frozen; eaten sautéed, broiled, fried and baked (Ref. 9988).</dc:description>

	<dc:description>Diagnosis: Body somewhat compressed, fairly deep with depth at pectoral fin more than head length, scutes apparent along belly (Ref. 188, 51442). Upper jaw with a distinct median notch, lower jaw fitting into it; no teeth on palatine and vomer; gillrakers long, thin and numerous, a total of 85 to 155 on first arch, longer than gill filaments (Ref. 188, 6683, 59043). A dark spot posterior to gill opening, but sometimes absent, sometimes followed by several small blotches (Ref. 188, 59043). Alosa alosa resembles Alosa fallax, which has fewer and shorter gillrakers and 7 or 8 black spots along flank (Ref. 188).Description: Body fusiform and laterally compressed (Ref. 122971). Head large, high, and laterally compressed; a median notch on the upper jaw (Ref. 122971). Gillrakers long, thin and numerous, a total of 85 to 155 on first arch; distinctly longer than branchial filaments in specimens longer than 250 mm standard length; 55-85 gillrakers on lower part of anterior arch (Ref. 188, 6683, 11601, 59043). Number of dorsal fin rays 18 to 21; number of anal fin rays 22 to 27; caudal fin is distinctly forked and homocercal (Ref. 11601, 122971). Large, thin scales; 60-90 well-developed, deciduous cycloid scales on a longitudinal line and 22-26 in a transverse series; scaling is irregular on the longitudinal line (Ref. 11601, 51442, 52923; 122971). A ventral keel of scutes is present (Ref. 51442, 122971).Colouration: Dark blue or blue-green back, becoming greenish brown or golden to the sides, sides and ventral side are silvery; a single dusky spot behind the gill opening, sometimes absent, and occasionally 1-6 more dusky spots behind it (Ref. 188, 52923, 59043, 88187, 122971).</dc:description>

	<dc:description>Adults in the sea begin to move towards the coast in February and congregate near or in estuaries (Ref. 10536). They ascend rivers in April and May when water temperature is 9-12 °C, peaking at 13-16 °C. Adults may migrate up to 700 km from the sea into major rivers and occasionally into the largest tributaries of these rivers to spawn (Ref. 10536). Males migrate upriver at 3-9 years; females first reproduce 1-3 years later than males. Gametogenesis occurs during spawning migration. Males arrive first in the upper reaches and occupy appropriate spawning sites, with females arriving 1-2 weeks later (Ref. 10536). Spawning sites are usually shallow areas (</dc:description>

	<dc:description>In brackish water near estuaries adults prey mainly on planktonic crustaceans (Refs. 40, 89654) and may add small schooling fishes to their diet while at sea (Refs. 188, 10536). Juveniles in freshwater feed on insect larvae, planktonic crustaceans and rotifers (Refs. 10536, 35387) adding herring larvae and planktonic crustaceans to their diet when they move to brackish water near estuaries (Refs. 40, 89654). Feeding appears to cease during migration into rivers (Refs. 10536, 30578).</dc:description>
