These are sometimes called fish balls and are used as an artificial fish ha=
bitat especially where infilling of shoreline occurs and Departments of Env=
ironment requires replacement of lost habitat.  These are placed in groups =
to create the habitat having an area somewhat equal to the area of infillin=
g. We have developed a similar precast shape for lobster habitat =96 =93Lob=

While birding at The Guzzle recently I came across two bucket-shaped concre=
te forms about 2 feet high=2C with several smooth deep concave holes in the=
m.My first thought was piddock clam holes but they seem too big=2C although=
 I have seen quite large piddock holes resembling these in rocks. Maybe=20
these are something to do with fishing or boating=2C but nobody seems to kn=
ow.
If you think you might satisfy my curiosity I will send you an image.
