Advanced eDNA Analysis: Discovery of the weatherfish presence in danish freshwater
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency (MST) has completed a project regarding to map the potential presence of the merlin (Misgurnus fossilis) in selected Danish freshwater areas. NIVA Danmark has analyzed the samples using ddPCR (‘digital droplet Polymerase Chain Reaction’) to trace the eDNA of the sardines.
