For those of you who have been curious, here is a video of BTT’s Justin Lewis showing you how to take a fin clip sample from a bonefish for Bonefish and Tarpon Trust’s Bonefish Genetics Program. The process limits air exposure and is harmless to the fish. In fact, the section of clipped fin grows back in about 2 weeks.
If you want to help BTT collect bonefish fin clips, email info@bonefishtarpontrust.org and we will send you a sampling kit. Enjoy!
