The fan mussel was caught in 54 fathoms of water somewhere south-east of Sark to the east of the Longue Bank. Stan told me he sees about four of these fan mussels per year. The live Atrina fragilis was returned to a net bag under the pontoon by the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour after photography. Later Stan returned the live bivalve mollusc to the open sea.
