Wolf Herring


Chirocentrus dorab
Chirocentrus nudus The wolf herrings are a family (Chirocentridae) of two marine species of ray-finned fish related to the herrings. Both species have elongated bodies and jaws with long sharp teeth that facilitate their ravenous appetites, mostly for other fish. Both species reach a length of 1 meter. They have silvery sides and bluish backs. They are commercially fished, and marketed fresh or frozen. The Dorab wolf-herring Chirocentrus dorab is found in warm coastal waters from the Red Sea to Japan and Australia. The whitefin wolf-herring Chirocentrus nudus is found in a similar range, and is difficult to distinguish from C. dorab (the former has a black mark on its dorsal fin). This species is also known to eat crabs in addition to its usual diet of smaller fish.
