Advancing ecological assessment: The integration of eDNA metabarcoding into an estuarine fish index

Mukesh P. Bhendarkar, Oriol Canals, Carlos Jurado, Iñaki Mendibil, A. Uriarte, Ángel Borja, Naiara Rodríguez‐Ezpeleta

This study integrates eDNA metabarcoding into an estuarine fish index to assess ecological status, finding that eDNA detects higher species richness but differs in species assemblages compared to bottom trawling.

Lessons learned from applying eDNA surveying to diadromous fish detection across the north-east Atlantic region

Mukesh P. Bhendarkar, Cristina Claver, Iñaki Mendibil, Natalia Fraija‐Fernández, David José Nachón, Phil I. Davison, Tea Bašić, Ciara O’Leary, William K Roche, Iker Azpiroz, Marie‐Laure Acolas, Aitor Lekuona, José Ardaíz, Estíbaliz Díaz, Patrick Lambert, , Naiara Rodríguez‐Ezpeleta

This study uses eDNA sampling and qPCR/dPCR assays to monitor diadromous fish distribution in the Northeast Atlantic, finding dPCR's higher sensitivity is crucial for detecting low-abundance species like sea lamprey.
