eDNA amplicon sequencing of marine seawater samples from 2025 Maritimes summer survey
Seawater samples were collected from across the Scotian Shelf, focusing on marine conservation areas, in summer and fall 2025. Seawater was collected by CTD rosette from a Coast Guard research vessel in July and August for summer samples, and in October for samples collected by the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program. eDNA was sequenced at the 12S and COI markers on an Illumina MiSeq to detect marine fishes and invertebrates across the region
