Actually I have seen them washed up on the beach in the spring by
northeasters. Thousands maybe millions. I have brought them home by the net
full and they lived long enough to craw out of the aquarium!

The fishermen here net the fry in purse Seines and sell and sell them to Japan
for nearly $600.00 a pound Thats a lot of 1/16 oz. fish.
The Japaneese grow them out for the sushi market. The good news is that the
presumscot was so polluted from paper making when I was a child that not even
an algae bloom could survive in it. Today it is a spawning ground again.
