The mathematical relationship is direct (not inverse), because sand eels feed on herring, and as the herring decrease, so decreases the sand eels' food supply. Please note that sand eels are not to be confused with the gigantic variety of species called sand worms, as depicted in the 1988 movie Beetle Juice. These creatures feed solely on actors and film crews.
