About

REMARKS As I explained, the Baltic herring is merely a subspecies. Common names used in the Baltic countries generally are given on that page. Names used in particular of the Baltic variety are: Lithuanian, silke; Latvian, reie; Estonian, silk or räim; Russian, salaka; Swedish, Strömming.

The distinguishing features of the Baltic herring are that it is smaller than the Atlantic herring and has a lower fat content. Even within the Baltic, different populations can be distinguished; but this general statement is true of them all.
