Alosa to detect ultrasound (at frequencies above 20 kHz, which is the limit of human hearing). This was first discovered by fisheries biologists studying a type of shad known as blueback herring, and was later verified in laboratory studies of hearing in American shad. This ability is thought to help them avoid dolphins that find prey using echolocation. "Alosa" species are generally pelagic. They are mostly anadromous or semianadromous with the exception of strictly freshwater landlocked species. "Alosa" species are generally migratory and schooling fish. Males usually mature about a year before females; they spawn in the late spring to summer.
Alosa agone Alosa agone Alosa agone is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus "Alosa". "Alosa agone" is an endangered species of the "Alosa" genus. "Alosa agone" are common in the Mediterranean and the western Balkans. There are also landlocked populations found in Italy. The distribution of reproductive communities and the conservation status of Alosa agone in the central and eastern parts of the Mediterranean areas are poorly known. Alosa agone’s numbers have declined due to barriers such as dams in their local areas. These barriers prevent them from getting upstream to their spawning grounds and reproducing.
