ABSTRACT The environmental DNA (eDNA) approach is an emerging tool for monitoring marine biodiversity. However, the sampling effort needs optimization according to site characteristics and target taxonomic groups. In this study, we optimized eDNA in terms of sample volume number replicates monitor diversity vertebrates (mainly fish) Hong Kong's subtropical waters that show a gradient estuarine oceanic waters. To maximize detection, used three pairs metabarcoding primers (12S‐v5, MiFish‐U,...
The European eel Anguilla anguilla is a critically endangered catadromous species. There an urgent need for close surveillance of the populations that are still viable in rivers. species difficult to observe freshwater because its bottom-dwelling behavior; currently employed methods monitoring Europe based on physical capture individuals stressful and may cause mortality. Here, we present new highly sensitive method A. anguilla-specific qPCR marker designed within cytochrome oxidase I...
