RV Investigator Voyage IN2022_V09 eDNA Data

Created 12/04/2026

Updated 12/04/2026

This record describes the environmental DNA (eDNA) data collected on Investigator voyage IN2022_V09, titled "Valuing Australia’s new Gascoyne Marine Park." The voyage took place between November 19, 2022 and December 19, 2022 (AEST), departing from Fremantle and returning to Fremantle.

The goal of this study was to leverage existing survey technology to design and test an eDNA sampler that captures an integrated eDNA sample over the length of a deep-water transect. Three different methods were compared for processing the captured eDNA from the sampler: filtering OCD water, extracting eDNA from sponge pieces, and filtering sponge rinse water. Using fish as our example organism, the identities of fishes from eDNA detections were also compared with bottom trawl survey data collected during the same survey, and the known regional species pool, to confirm the eDNA identifications were plausible.
