	Basic information for Alosa alosa (Allis shad)
		Alosa alosa is a herring-like, planktivorous fish with silvery white sides and a deep blue colouration on its back.
		The allis shad is distinguished from the other European shad, the twaite shad (Alosa fallax), by having between 80-130 gill rakers on the first gill arch while Alosa fallax has between 40-60.
		The allis shad is 'anadromous' in that it spends its life in the ocean but enters rivers in April and May to spawn before returning to the sea.

	Les Aloses
		The Alosa genus is first described in terms of taxonomy, world geographical distribution and different features of particular interest.
		The first chapter deals with the developmental stages in the various species and populations, from the biological characteristics of the adult shad migrating back to the river to those of juveniles migrating to the sea, reproduction and sea growing phase.
		Lastly, the characteristics for its exploitation are presented, as well as a global analysis of the impact of human activities on the abundance and scattering of the stock geographical distribution in terms of negative and positive effects of river development (fish pass).

		According to the elder Alosa, the proposed scenario called for him joining Rowe's staff as associate head coach, with Matt Alosa, a former professional player, and current Brewster Academy head coach Jason Smith, an international recruiting czar, coming on board as assistants.
		Frank Alosa and Trinity assistant Dave Segal say UNH pursued the move from June 2003 to May 2004.
		It was all coming together when Alosa met with Rowe and UNH Athletic Director Marty Scarano at a restaurant in Northwood, Alosa says.

	Twaite Shad (ALOSA FALLAX)-European Federation of Sea Angling Records
		Both fish have streamlined bodies covered with distinct, large, circular scales which form a toothed edge on the lower margin and an adipose membrane which partially covers each eye.
		However, the only reliable way of separating the two species is to examine the gills – twaite shad have only 40-60 gill-rakers (comb-like structures that are used to filter zooplankton) on the first gill arch, whereas allis shad have 90-130.
		The twaite shad Alosa fallax is found along the western coastline of Europe, from southern Norway to Morocco and along the eastern Mediterranean, but has declined substantially throughout Europe.

		The Annual Statistical Review for 1981 lists alewife but not the blueback (Alosa aestivalis) and since these two species overlap each other during their spawning runs, it seems probable that some bluebacks are included with the alewife landings.
		Nevertheless, the landings and value of alewives for 1980 and 1981 listed in the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Annual Statistical Review (1983) are as follows: 1980, 9738 t at a value of $2,482,000; 1981, 5601 t at a value of $860,000.
