Alisea is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine bony fish that lived in what is now California during the Upper Miocene subepoch.^[1]^[2] Although generally considered a relative of the herrings in the family Clupeidae, an affinity to shads has also been suggested due to its large size and well-developed abdominal scutes.^[3]
