A taxonomic group or classification that includes herring-like fishes and their relatives.
From Latin 'clupea' (herring) + Greek '-oidei' (plural form meaning 'the ones like'). This is a formal scientific classification used in fish taxonomy.
Clupeodei represents an entire superorder of fish that has been feeding humans for thousands of years—herrings, sardines, anchovies, and pilchards are all in this group, making them some of the most economically important fish on Earth.
