The development of the Atlantic herring is related to a staging series intended to provide a standard background for studies of herring embryonic development. The series is based on herring embryos from the Isle of Man (Irish Sea) stock reared at 8°C. The stages are named rather than numbered in order to simplify usage and the series has been sub‐divided into five periods: zygote and cleavage, blastula, gastrula, segmentation, and organogenesis.
