We shall discuss aspects of the theory of incompressible stratified Euler fluids in a $2D$ channel. In particular, our focus will be on conserved quantities, both for continuous and sharp (two-layer) stratification. We shall analytically show the existence of classes of initial data for which total horizontal momentum is not conserved, and briefly compare these results with long-wave asymptotic models. Hamiltonian pictures (both in the full $2D$ case and in the $1D$ long wave limit(s)) will then be discussed in order to illustrate these results.
