Last week the good folks at Bonefish and Tarpon Trust posted some of the results from their ongoing bonefish genetics study, read here on their blog

One of the more intriguing things mentioned in the post was this-

At smaller geographic scales, the connections are more direct.

  • There appears to be reasonably high connectivity between Cuba and the Bahamas;
  • There appears to be reasonable high connectivity between Belize/Mexico and Cuba;
  • There appears to be high connectivity between Belize/Mexico and Florida;
  • There appears to be limited direct connectivity between Cuba and Florida.

Looking forward to more insightful bonefish science from the BTT team.
