In the last few years, the study of environmental DNA (eDNA) has drawn attention for many reasons, including its advantages for monitoring and conservation purposes. So far, in aquatic environments, most of eDNA research has focused on the detection of single species using species-specific markers. Recently, species inventories based on the analysis of a single generalist marker targeting a larger taxonomic group (eDNA metabarcoding) have proven useful for bony fish and amphibian biodiversity…

These results are the first demonstration of the capacity of eDNA metabarcoding to describe longitudinal fish assemblage patterns in a large river, and eDNA integrated a larger space than the classical sampling location and appears to be a reliable, cost-effective method for future monitoring.
Calibrating Environmental DNA Metabarcoding to Conventional Surveys for Measuring Fish Species Richness
