Description

Scientific name: Ammodytes tobianus

Habitat: Demersal
Main role: Prey
Trophic level: 3 – 3,5

Diet: Their diet is dominated by zooplankton, but polychaetes, meiofauna and other small benthos have also an important role.

Threats: Of commercial interest. They are caught in large quantities by specialized industrial fisheries.


Sandeel and sprat are part of one single data layer. This is a month-by-month, computer generated data layer following calculations made by the ecosystem simulation (EwE).

Additional information about Sprat can be found here.
