If those were 40 dead piping plovers, they'd drain the ocean.

Just a guess, but sand eels are filter feeders and would concentrate the toxin same as clams.

the article didn't say that the sand eels were dying, just the terns eating the sand eels. Maybe the red tide doesn't effect the sand eels, but will effect birds. The red tide was concentrated enough in the sand eels to effect terns.  |

To answer the first question, yes, sand eels are finfish. If you are going to look them up, do it under "American sand lance". grb
