In regard to the commercial value:
It was in the Fall of 1989 and Larry Tremblay and I were fishing the Block. We went to dinner at Govenor something hotel and were sitting at the bar. Met a commercial dragger captain and got to talking about Bass, Bluefish and he brought up Squets. He said his nets were full of them the last few days about 12 miles SE of the Block. He was getting $4 a pound! He wasn't dragging speciafically for them but it was a by-catch on which he was making a ton of money.
