Fresh water/stream
Species detection
and distribution
The study utilizes
eDNA in detecting
Arctic grayling in
Missouri River
basin
Carim et al. (2016)
Fresh water/pond
Species detection
The study is
conducted to test
eDNA persistence
in water in order to
confirm the
presence of the
focus species
(Siberian sturgeon
and Bullfrog
tadpoles in
freshwater
ecosystems)
Dejean et al. (2011)
Fresh water/mesocosms
Species abundance
quantification
The study
determines whether
environmental DNA
(eDNA) sampling
and metabarcoding
analysis can be used
to accurately
measure species
diversity
(freshwater fishes
and amphibians) in
aquatic
assemblages with
differing structures

Fresh water/natural lake
Invasive/rare
species detection
This study
discovers the use of
eDNA in Asian
Carp detection and
promotes the
implementation of
eDNA in effective
and sustainable
surveillance
program for
invasive/rare
species
