Extended eDNA Time Series Suggests Feasibility of Long Term Monitoring

Caption

For three years, The Rockefeller University researchers have successfully monitored fish migrations in New York's East and Hudson Rivers using only eDNA tests on weekly water samples. Over 30 months, the data snapshots created a moving picture of the presence or absence of several key fish species passing through, the results correlating closely with prior migration studies done with fishnet trawls.
