Any one of several species of food fishes of the Herring family. The American species ({ Alosa sapidissima} formerly { Clupea sapidissima}), which is abundant on the Atlantic coast and ascends the larger rivers in spring to spawn, is an important market fish. The European allice shad, or alose ({ Alosa alosa} formerly { Clupea alosa}), and the twaite shad ({ Alosa finta} formerly { Clupea finta}), are less important species. [ Written also { chad}.] [ 1913 Webster] Note: The name is loosely applied, also, to several other fishes, as the gizzard shad ( see under { Gizzard}), called also { mud shad}, { white- eyed shad}, and { winter shad}.

Their white racemose blossoms open in April or May, when the shad appear, and the edible berries ( pomes) ripen in June or July, whence they are called { Juneberries}. The plant is also called { service tree}, and { Juneberry}. { Shad frog}, an American spotted frog ({ Rana halecina}); -- so called because it usually appears at the time when the shad begin to run in the rivers. { Trout shad}, the squeteague. { White shad}, the common shad.
