The life of Marlin discovered

[bugman]

Hello all - thought this might interest some.

The ABC's Catalyst program is running a segment on the lifecycle of marlin. Saw the promo and it looks pretty good. The website hasn't got that much info as yet but might be worth a look tomorrow night.

http://abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/promo.htm

Program goes to air at 8:00pm Thursday night for normal ABC viewers - those with digital who can see ABC 2 can see it
5:30pm Wed, 8:45pm Wed and 10:30pm Sat.

that was incredible...

a 2cm marlin filmed free swimming (not real fast) but as the biologist said - not afraid of anything - & what a mouthful of teeth they have at that size - I wonder at what age & size they lose them...

thanks for the headsup brett.

Can you imagine a 300kg marlin with the same set of teeth that it has at birth - oh my god - you wouldn't get too many blokes bringing them into the boat.

I thought I did it tough towing lures all over the ocean trying to find the elusive marlin. What about the scientist that stood on the bow spotting 2cm marlin in current lines and scooping them up with a hand net.

Some people are truly dedicated.

Now the question remains what happens to them between that tiny fry stage and when I catch them off the Cape ;D (if I catch them off the cape)

They've got the transcript up but no video as yet.
