Edits

Just started a cursory edit of the article will go through it more thoroughly in time. Their is a wealth of info about Atlantic herring on internet i have put one of the better sites in the external links. I think that info combined with what you have put in already Uwe should make for a well informed and interesting article. Do you think we could get Lupo and Salleman involved with helping edit and adding references? it would be cool if we could. probably could use some help with taxonomy box for Taxonomy reference goto *[1].

good idea, maybe it is better when you ask them - tax: we do it this way http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?ID=24&genusname=Clupea&speciesname=harengus%20harengus fishbase is made by a student of our Kiel group, now visited by 11 million a month, 1000 cooperators - amazing what the web can produce - there is also a lot of refs Uwe Kils

Most abundant?

The article says:

Atlantic herring is the most abundant species of fish on the planet

but doesn't give a reference. I've changed this to "one of the most abundant species of fish on the planet" as I can't find any evidence for the more definitive claim.

I did find some interesting surveys of abundance of fish larvae: Franco-Gordo et al. surveyed the Pacific coast of Mexico and found Bregmaceros bathymaster (Bregmacerotidae) to be by far the most abundant; Aceves-Medina et al. surveyed the Gulf of California and found Benthosema panamense, Triphoturus mexicanus (both Myctophidae) and Vinciguerria lucetia (Phosichthyidae) to be most abundant. Note that these are all very small mesopelagic fishes.

The omnivorous predator

The article doesn't list humans as predators because ... ?

The predator section should list Homo Sapiens as a predator? I would simply & provacatively add it myself but I don't have the research and I know it.
