Menhaden fish belong to the family Clupeidae and are primarily represented by two species: the Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) and the Gulf menhaden (Brevoortia patronus). These fish are important for both commercial fishing and as a forage species in marine ecosystems, serving as a key food source for larger fish, birds, and marine mammals. They are commonly found along the Atlantic coast of North America.
Menhaden are found along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States.
