This same technique has been used with Gar for quite some time now, So not really quite so new. Not surprising it would work with pirarucu.

Hey, just poking around for info on this fish and I stumbled upon this. The link doesnt seem to work?

Could you go over how they did it? Any ideas what so ever? Thanks
