Tarpon Genetics Recapture Study- Tarpon Update

TARPON RECAPTURES, TARPON RECAPTURES- Read All About It!

Tarpon Science -Megalops Atlanticus

Since 2005 Tarpon anglers participating in the Tarpon Genetic Recapture Study have been helping researchers gain valuable insight into the fascinating life of Megalops Atlanticus aka, "the Tarpon!" When anglers catch a tarpon and collect a DNA sample for the Tarpon Genectics Study, they are contributing priceless information to a growing database.

Biologists use the tarpon database to identify when a tarpon has been caught and sampled more than once. Biologist refer to these tarpon as recaptures. The database now includes over 100 documented tarpon recaptures. The following reports share some of the information gained from recaptured tarpon.
