I wonder if anyone has done any studies on our sand lance, which I believe  
is the same fish as the sand eel. About 20 years ago when I was involved in 
some  bottom sampling off Sable Island they were there in abundance and 
undoubtedly  a  major part of the chain that supported the mackerel, sharks and  
swordfish around the Island. At one time I counted 12 shark fins visible at the  
same time in a small area. They also used to be abundant in the sandy shallows  
of St Margarets Bay but I haven't seen any in some time and wonder how that may 
 be related to the recent decreased catches of mackerel.
