What's the name of the fish that are being spotted dead by the thousands in New Jersey?

These are called menhaden and otherwise are known as bunker fish. They are important to the ecosystem. Without them, there's no striper, bluefish, etc.
Where are dead menhaden being found around the Jersey Shore?

Tens of thousands have been spotted around the Navesink River, Shrewsbury River, and even Raritan Bay. So, residents of Middletown, Red Bank, Fair Haven, Rumson, Oceanport, Sandy Hook, and many surrounding communities have likely witnessed the eye-sore. Such a sad sight, these poor fish leave an awful, rotting smell. I was on the Let's Talk Long Branch page and saw several interesting messages. A lot of people are upset, for a variety of good reasons.
