Beach worms (especially 'kingworms' A. teres) are targeted by anglers for use as bait to catch fish. [15] To catch beach worms, anglers generally wait for low tide when the intertidal zone is exposed, and lure worms up out of the sand to the surface by washing a bait (often of old fish frames or pilchards in a stocking) in the water as waves ...
The blow lugworm (Arenicola marina), also known as sandworm, is a large species of marine worm.Its coiled castings are a familiar sight on a beach at low tide but the animal itself is rarely seen except by those who, from curiosity or to use as fishing bait, dig the worm out of the sand.
Each mass is anchored at one end. The larvae hatching from the eggs feed on the jelly and eventually break out when they have grown to a dozen segments and are beginning to resemble their parents. They burrow into the sand, usually higher up the beach than the adults, and gradually move down the beach as they get older.

Eunicidae are economically valuable as bait in both recreational and commercial fishing. [7] [8] Commercial bait-farming of Eunicidae can have adverse ecological impacts. [9] Bait-farming can deplete worm and associated fauna population numbers, [10] damage local intertidal environments [11] and introduce alien species to local aquatic ...
