Studying fish biodiversity in Canadian rivers by engaging local communities in environmental DNA monitoring

eDNA sampling was optimized for large river systems with the help of the NGO Ottawa Riverkeeper and local volunteers. Their boats and knowledge of local underwater geography were key for this project. Our aims were to efficiently describe local fish communities via eDNA and to obtain insights about the effect of hydraulics on eDNA distribution in large rivers.
