Environmental DNA results for large and small volume water samples in mesocosm experiments at Creston Fish Hatchery and field surveys in the Flathead River Basin, MT in 2016

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.

Rainbow trout eDNA and mesocosm water volume comparison data, Creston Fish Hatchery MT, 2016

We used mesocosm experiments to compare coarse filter-large water volume samples (hereafter large volume filter samples) vs. fine filter-small water volume samples (hereafter small volume filter samples) for detection and quantification of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). We report the quantity of rainbow trout DNA detected using large and small water volume sampling approaches under control (no fish) and treatment (1 fish) conditions.
