** Alosa sapidissima (Wilson, 1811). American Shad . To 76 cm (30 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Native to Atlantic Ocean; intentionally introduced to Pacific Ocean, spread to Kamchatka, Russia to south-eastern Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to Bahía de Todos Santos, northern Baja California (Miller and Lea 1972). Depth: surface to 250 m (820 ft) (Allen and Smith 1988). While there are a few other, deeper, records (e.g., 440 m, 1,443 ft, Bradburn et al. 2011; 646 m, 2,119 ft, 881 m, 2,890 ft, and 1,151 m, 3,885 ft, NWFSC-FRAM), all are from bottom trawls and the fish could have entered the nets in the water column as the net were being deployed or retrieved.
