Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Hi All, I eat for fish mostly pilchards. They seem to be low in the food chain. According to Rusch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, pilchards are " very shiny. They have black spots along their back. When the Chinooks come in, you'll see them chasing pilchards on the surface. " But while pilchards are a tasty commercial species, they aren't much of a sport fish, " They're plankton eaters. They basically just filter the water for plankton and algae. " Pilchards are usually considered to be a warm-water species, but they have been further north lately. A small commercial fishery was opened up on July 19, 2005.
