eDNA metabarcoding of small plankton samples to detect fish larvae and their preys from Atlantic and Pacific waters

Abstract Zooplankton community inventories are the basis of fisheries management for containing fish larvae and their preys; however, the visual identification of early-stage larvae (the “missing biomass”) is difficult and laborious. Here, eDNA metabarcoding was employed to detect zooplankton specie...
