eDNA analysis using metabarcoding 12S Mifish on nanopore
The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of eDNA metabarcoding using Nanopore sequencers against traditional survey methods, specifically bottom trawling, in terms of species detection and diversity assessment. By providing a comprehensive assessment of fish diversity, the study aimed at showcasing the potential of eDNA as   additional tool for future monitoring in Natura 2000 sites. By employing cutting-edge eDNA metabarcoding methods, the study aimed at providing a comprehensive and accurate assessment of fish diversity at the sampling sites.
