This footage is from the upcoming ESPN2 TV series 'Pirates of the Flats', presented by Bonefish & Tarpon Trust. This segment shows how to take a fin clip from a bonefish. BTT uses the fin clips for genetic analysis, which is needed to determine which species of bonefish are being caught in the fishery. Three species have been identified in the shallows of the Caribbean, and htey can be identified only through genetics (at least to us, the bonefish seem to know the difference).
