Baltic Herring
Clupea harengus membras
Baltic Herring is one of the key species of the Baltic ecosystem. It is an important prey of many predatory fish, such as the Baltic cod and salmon, and it has a strong impact on the pelagic ecosystem as a predator of zooplankton and nektobenthos. Due to its wide salinity tolerance range, Baltic herring is able to live and reproduce in almost every part of the Baltic Sea despite of the varying environment.
