Big bonefish of French Polynesia - Research on Tetiaroa bonefish

In early 2013 we began a bonefish research project in conjunction with Tetiaroa Society and Te Mana te Moana on the bonefish of Tetiaroa. The project is designed to find out more about the species in French Polynesia. Year 1 is collecting various population data (genetics/length/weight/age) and year 2 we will be doing some satellite tagging.

The fish in this film was one of 45 fish sampled over 2 weeks as part of a research project we set up on Tetiaroa helping to find out more about the species in this region. Average weight of those 45 fish is just under 8lb. This one was just above at 9.5lb.
