Biology:Alisea
From HandWiki
Alisea is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine clupeiform fish that lived in what is now California during the Upper Miocene subepoch.[1][2] Although generally considered a relative of the herrings in the family Clupeidae, an affinity to shads has also been suggested due to its large size and well-developed abdominal scutes.[3] Its name derives from alise, an alternate spelling for the Hindi name of the related ilish fish.[4]
Due to the poorly preserved nature of the only specimen, it is uncertain whether it warrants recognition as a distinct taxon.[5]
