Mid-Atlantic White Marlin Race

Mid-Atlantic White Marlin Race Race to collect fin samples of white marlin during the 2016 mid-Atlantic USA season. Our goal is 50 samples by end of season!

The white marlin bite is on for the 2016 season! This page is a way to provide updates on the number of white marlin samples collected for genetic analysis at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). Anglers out of Virginia Beach and Ocean City are participating to provide samples for ongoing research at VIMS. This research aims to determine how many populations of white marlin are present

in the Atlantic Ocean, and how these populations interact with each other and with angler groups throughout the Atlantic. The sampling process is fast and easy: a small piece of the fin is cut from a hooked fish prior to release, the fin clip is put in a tube of preservative, and at the end of the season all tubes are sent to VIMS for genetic analysis. Sampling kits are provided by VIMS, and shipping costs are also covered. A total of 50 samples are needed for the 2016 season, let's see who can help us reach our goal! A big thanks to all those anglers currently participating. Any newcomers, we would love to have you on board. Contact me via this page or at [email protected].
