Summary
Quantitative PCR data from mesocosm experiments and field evaluations comparing coarse filter-large water volume environmental DNA samples vs. fine filter-small water volume environmental DNA samples for detection and quantification of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) DNA. Mesocosm experiments took place at the US Fish & Wildlife Service's Creston Fish Hatchery in Montana, 2016. Field surveys took place in the Flathead River basin of Montana, 2016.

Quantitative PCR results from environmental DNA samples, which were used to evaluate if coarse filter-large water volume sampling methods captured more rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) DNA than fine filter-small water volume methods in experimental mesocosms and in natural streams.
