Antarctic scientists have trialed a DNA "barcoding" technique that could improve biosecurity measures that help protect polar ecosystems from invasive marine species. The research, led by Australian ...

Using marine environmental DNA sampling, scientists identified more fish species than with conventional trawling techniques, but only if key implementation steps are followed. Environmental DNA (eDNA) ...

Sampling for eDNA consists of collecting and analyzing water samples for the presence of DNA from the organism of interest. Of the 330 water samples collected in 2024 from the lake, six tested ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. (KTVZ) — Delivering a minor electric shock into a stream to reveal any fish lurking nearby may be the gold standard for detecting fish populations, but it’s not much fun for the trout.
