Thesis
Using new smart tools (eDNA and acoustics) to detect cryptic UK seahorse species
The aims of this project are to: - Develop and validate an eDNA technique using sediment samples to identify and quantify target fish species. - Develop and validate acoustic techniques for detecting target fish species. - Apply these novel techniques to evaluate existing species distribution models. - Application of these novel techniques for tracking potential changes in species distributions.
