"Menhaden, also known as mossbunker and bunker and \"the most important fish in the sea\", are forage fish of the genera Brevoortia and Ethmidium, two genera of marine fish in the family Clupeidae. Menhaden is a blend of poghaden (pogy for short) and an Algonquian word akin to Narragansett munnawhattea\u00FBg, derived from munnohquohteau (\"he fertilizes\"), referring to their use of the fish as fertilizer. It is generally thought that Pilgrims were advised by Tisquantum (also known as Squanto) to plant menhaden with their crops."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . "* Genus Brevoortia (T. N.
