Sand eel

Sand eel or sandeel is the common name used for a considerable number of species of fish. Most of them are sea fish of the genera ''Hyperoplus'' (greater sand eels), ''Gymnammodytes'' or ''Ammodytes''. Many species are found off the western coasts of Europe from Spain to Scotland, and in the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas.
The three genera listed above all fall within the family Ammodytidae, the sand lances. Members of these genera found in other oceans are not usually called sand eels, and species from other parts of the world are known as sand eels are usually less closely related. None of the sand eels is related to the true eels.
Sand eels are an important food source for seabirds, including puffins and kittiwakes.
==Habitat==
A preferential habitat is a seabed floor, with a relatively smooth bottom of gravelly sand; an example of this prime habitat is the floor of the Sea of the Hebrides.〔C.Michael Hogan, (2011) (''Sea of the Hebrides'' ). Eds. P. Saundry & C.J.Cleveland. Encyclopedia of Earth. National Council for Science and the Environment. Washington DC.〕 Sand eels typically burrow in the sand to escape from predators.
