DNA modelling breakthrough for farm site seabed sampling
A new environmental-DNA (e-DNA) approach for monitoring the seabed conditions around marine fish farms has been developed, with the hope it can significantly speed up the assessment of sediment samples and subsequently enable salmon producers and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) to gather timely, accurate information to demonstrate environmental impact and recovery.
