The hickory shad (Alosa mediocris), fall herring, mattowacca,[3][4][a]freshwater taylor or bonejack[5] is a member of the family Alosidae, ranging along the East Coast of the United States from Florida to the Gulf of Maine. It is an anadromous fish species, meaning that it spawns in freshwater portions of rivers, but spends most of its life at sea. It is subject to fishing, both historic and current, but it is often confused with or simply grouped together with American shad (A. sapidissima) in catch statistics.
