Hi Roland
Thanks for the note.
Does she mean Needlefish ( Scomberesox saurus ) which
is often called billfish? Sems they are sometimes very
common in that area - other years not at all.
No doubt the bluefin tuna will be feeding on them. Fun
to see them jump out of the water! Must be quite a
shock to those below when they fall back in.
Thanks again
Paul
