Pacific herring prefer spawning locations in sheltered bays and estuaries.

Pacific herring are currently harvested commercially for salmon bait and for roe.

Historically the Pacific herring has been an important species, due to its productive abilities to generate significant species biomass.

Pacific herring have an unusual retinal design that allows filter feeding in extremely dim lighting environments.

Subspecific divisions have been suggested for both the Atlantic and Pacific herrings, but their biological basis remain unclear.

Pacific herring have a bluish-green back and silver-white sides and bellies; they are otherwise unmarked.

Fishery characteristics of Richardson's Bay include a Pacific herring fishery and oyster beds.

Scientists found that Pacific herring, which were spawning in the shallow eelgrass and algal beds at the time of the spill, showed large increases in the number of abnormal embyros and larvae.

The chosa herring, Clupea pallasii suworowi, is a subspecies of the Pacific herring, Clupea pallasii, in the Clupea genus of the Clupeidae family.

Also, ecological change and the decline of critical forage species such as the Pacific Herring and the Sand Lance have had significant impacts on the larger predators, including salmon, killer whales and seabirds.
