The atlantic herring Clupea harengus linnaeus, 1758 is apelagic clupeid, schooling, plankton-feeding species that inhabitsthe coastal areas from inshore to well offshore waters, at depthsto 200 m (Whitehead, 1986). This target species has been crucialfor food security and economic development in northern europe(Martinez-Barrio et al., 2016). Its fishery currently ranks among thefive largest fisheries in the world, with nearly 2 million tons of fishlanded annually in the last years (Fao, 2010-2019).This species is distributed on both sides of the north atlanticocean. In the western atlantic, it ranges from labrador to capeHatteras; in the eastern atlantic, from the northern part of theBay of Biscay to Greenland, and to the east into the Barentssea (Whitehead, 1985, 1986).
