-------------------------------1197290016 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 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.
