Bones in fish too short (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carpals

'bones' is the definition.
(carpal is a kind of bone)

'fish too short' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'carp' (carp is a kind of fish).
'too' becomes 'also' (synonyms).
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'also' with its final letter taken off is 'als'.
'carp'+'als'='CARPALS'

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for carpals that I've seen is " Wrist-bones".)
