Alaska Herring
This herring is known only from 3 specimens, 1 from salt water at Point Hope, Alaska, and 2 others from freshwater at Grantley Harbour, near Bering Straits.
The species reaches a foot in length. It seems most closely related to the lake herring, from which it differs chiefly in the fewer gillrakers.
Nothing is known regarding its abundance, distribution, or habits.
