Description
Summary:To provide an overview of the distribution of polar cod (Boreogadus saida) across the Bering and Chukchi Seas, environmental DNA (eDNA) of polar cod was analyzed using a novel species-specific assay. eDNA samples were collected on the cruise (MR20-05C) conducted by the 'R/V Mirai' of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology during the open-water season of 2020. For eDNA sampling, surface seawater was collected and then filtered through a cartridge filter (Sterivex HV, 0.45 m pore size; Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). Additional eDNA samples were collected from the middle or bottom layer in the same manner. We developed a species-specific quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) TaqMan assay to exclusively detect polar cod eDNA by targeting the D-loop region of mitochondrial DNA. Polar cod eDNA was detected and quantified in the samples using the assay. To investigate the relationship between eDNA detection and environmental conditions, temperature (degrees Celsius), salinity, chlorophyll-a ...
