Adult herring are harvested for their flesh and eggs, and they are often used as [[Bait fish|baitfish]]. The trade in herring is an important sector of many economies around the world. In Europe, the fish has been called the "silver of the sea", and its trade has been so significant to many countries that it has been regarded as the most commercially important fishery in history.<ref>[http://www.coml.org/discoveries/discoveries/historical/hmap-important.htm Herring] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100814022825/http://www.coml.org/discoveries/discoveries/historical/hmap-important.htm |date=2010-08-14 }}, from [http://www.coml.org/about Census of Marine Life] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100804181601/http://www.coml.org/about |date=2010-08-04 }}, 2010.</ref>
