Development of eDNA tools for the detection of marine invasive non-native species to support European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) restoration projects
The European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) is an important keystone species in Scottish coastal waters. However due to anthropogenic pressures, significant reductions to oyster beds have been observed across Europe. In Scotland, several projects are currently aiming to restore European flat oyster hab...

The European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) is an important keystone species in Scottish coastal waters.
