🐟Atlantic herring
Śledź oceaniczny, śledź atlantycki, śledź pospolity, śledź (Clupea harengus) – gatunek ławicowej ryby morskiej z rodziny śledziowatych. Blisko spokrewniony ze śledziem pacyficznym. Obydwa gatunki – powszechnie określane nazwą śledź – miały olbrzymie znaczenie gospodarcze stanowiąc główny cel połowów w rybołówstwie morskim. W wyniku przełowienia w latach 90. XX wieku liczebność poszczególnych populacji znacznie się zmniejszyła, jednak nadal śledzie są bardzo ważnymi rybami użytkowymi.
