Abstract:In Lar National Park (Caspian Sea basin, Iran), the Caspian trout (Salmo caspius) population faces different threats, including introduced fish species. Due to the harsh environmental conditions and limited accessibility, monitoring of fish species via conventional approaches proves difficult. Hence, environmental DNA metabarcoding may prove an appropriate tool for monitoring fishes within the park. Environmental DNA samples from eight stream sites in the National Park were sequenced via metabarcoding of the 1… Show more
