Description
Summary:The field of environmental DNA has advanced over the past decade, with multiple approaches available for a variety of sampling media and species. Here, we quantify salmon environmental DNA upstream of a fish counting fence along with river velocity, and together, use these values to determine the correlation between the number of salmon passing by the fish fence daily with daily eDNA rates in water before, during and after the salmon spawning season for 4 Pacific salmonids (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, O. kisutch, O. tshawytscha, O. nerka; pink, coho, Chinook, sockeye respectively). Hydrogeological data of streamflow and water temperature were measured in 10 minutes intervals by automatic barologgers and levelloggers and averaged over a 24-hour period between 9pm the previous day and 9pm to get daily temperature and streamflow rate. Triplicate daily water samples were 50 m upstream of the fish counting fence in bleach sterilised glass bottles and filtered on 0.45 micron cellulose filters before storing in ...
