The systematics, morphology, distribution, biology, economic importance and conservation of the herrings (kilkas and shads) of Iran are described, the species are illustrated, and a bibliography on these fishes in Iran is provided. There are 9 native species in the genera Clupeonella, Alosa and Tenualosa in the Caspian Sea and rivers of southern Iran.
