Evaluation of Fish Species Detection in the Northwestern Pacific using eDNA Metabarcoding: A Mock Community Approach
This study highlights the relative efficacy of eDNA metabarcoding for fish species identification, but also highlights the need to improve reference databases and minimise contamination, searching for references and primers to improve accuracy. Further research should focus on optimising marker selection and controlling methodological bias to ensure robust biodiversity estimates.
