Seminole, FL 33772 010710 For more details visit C21champs.com/MLS.Ad 42210 22 Sports Beacon, April 22, 2010 Prep showdown Fishermen help biologists with tarpon research Biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Fish and Wildlife Research Institute and Mote Marine Laboratory continue to gather valuable tarpon infor- mation with the help of Florida anglers. By analyzing DNA samples collected by fishermen, biolo- gists gain insight into tarpon movement and distribution as well as their ability to withstand fishing pressures. Biologists use samples submitted to the Tarpon Genetic Recapture Program to identify the tarpon’s genetic “finger- print.” The fingerprints provide a unique and natural tag for each individual fish. Scientists compare new tarpon DNA samples with cataloged samples to determine if someone caught and sampled that tarpon previously. Biologists refer to these fish as “recaptured” tarpon. State officials have documented 37 recaptured tarpon since 2005. Information from these fish provides valuable insight on tarpon movement. For example, one recaptured adult tarpon traveled 88 miles in 313 days, heading north from the waters off Fort Myers Beach to Long Boat Key. A different tarpon made a similar movement in the oppo- site direction, confirming that tarpon move between estuaries along the west coast. Another fish, caught in June 2007 in Photos by JIM LAYFIELD Boca Grande, was captured in the same location nearly two years later. This demonstrates that a tarpon will return to the same body of water during the spawning season. Angler involvement has increased significantly since the program began in 2005. In the past 12 months, anglers pro- vided more than 2,000 samples, bringing the total number of samples to just over 5,200. Anglers throughout Florida sub- mitted samples from tarpon ranging in length from 5 to 96 inches. Anglers who would like to participate in this program may obtain a free, easy-to-use tarpon DNA sampling kit by e-mail- Above, Osceola first baseman Brock Jensen ing [email protected] or by calling 800-367- tags the bag just in time to nail Dunedin’s 4461.
