Differences in fish community structures detected during rising and falling tides in environmental DNA metabarcoding.
Seawater samples were collected during rising and falling tides at temperate (35ÂºN) and subtropical (25ÂºN) reefs for two days in May 2021 and 2022. Fish eDNA metabarcoding was performed for a total of 72 samples, and we compared fish community structures to detect the effects of tidal differences on eDNA metabarcoding.
