There are two species, just that the ones we get are all starry's and starry's in disguise.

Can't remember off hand but I think the common us more popular off Spain with only rare catches in Irish waters.

i think the conclusion was that common hounds were never caught in irish waters.
but there is an odd one caught in the south of engerland :wink:
