This family is composed of seven genera and 13 species (Nelson 1994). Smelt are circumpolar in cold and temperate waters of the Northern Hemisphere (Berra 1981). These fishes are small, mostly carnivorous, and are important commercially as food and bait. Most osmerids are marine; however, some coastal species enter rivers during spawning runs, and a few species are established in inland waters.

Ganssle (1966) recorded five species of osmerids in the Sacramento-San Joaquin estuary. Three of them are marine species: whitebait smelt, Allosmerus elongatus; surf smelt, Hypomesus pretiosus, and night smelt, Spirinchus starksi. Delta smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus, is a euryhaline fish, native to the Sacramento-San Joaquin estuary. These smelts spend most of their life in the freshwater portions of the estuary.
