Here are pictures of my trip on June 17 with Auburn University researchers.  They took samples of fins from several species of fish throughout the Mobile Bay. They will determine if there is any harmful bacteria present. The crew was Matt Lewis, Andrea Larsen and Zhen Tao. 

Here is a brief summary from Matt Lewis of what the researchers we were doing, "It is know that punctures from bait shrimp or sport fish dorsal fins can lead to a life-threatening disease from a bacterial infection by Vibrio vulnificus. We were collecting fin clips from commonly caught sport fish to enumerate (or count) how many Vibrio vulnificus organisms are on the surface of the fins. This will tell us how dangerous getting "finned" could be to someone at risk for this infection." 

For more information on Vibrio vulnificus visit http://www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/vibriovulnificus.asp

The researchers clipped two pieces from each fish's dorsal fin.

The fin clips were put in a tube for analysis later.
