Sprat is a common name for a group of small, oily fish that belong to the family Clupeidae.

They are often used as food for humans and other animals.

Sprats have a slender body, a forked tail, and a single dorsal fin.

They are usually silver or greenish in color, with dark spots or stripes on their sides.

Sprats can grow up to 18 cm in length, but most are around 10 cm.

There are different species of sprats that live in different regions of the world.

Sprats are similar to other small fish, such as anchovies, herring, sardines, and shad.

However, they can be distinguished by their size, shape, color, and habitat.

Sprats are also sometimes confused with other sprat-like fish, such as Clupeonella, Corica, and Stolothrissa.

These fish belong to different genera, but share some characteristics of the true sprat.

Sprats are valued for their nutritional benefits, as they contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, calcium, and vitamin D. They are also low in mercury and other contaminants.

These fish are considered a sustainable and eco-friendly seafood choice, as they are abundant, fast-growing, and low on the food chain.

Sprats are also part of the cultural heritage and cuisine of many countries, especially in Europe and Asia.
