The facts on the card

- Three species of Clupea are recognised, and comprise about 90% of all herrings captured in fisheries.

Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Herring article was read about 180,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 97: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
