Environmental DNA Mapping of Zebra Mussel Populations
Agency: U.S. Geological Survey

Treatment Type: N/A
Treatment Method Used: N/A
This project developed an eDNA protocol for detecting zebra mussels in Minnesota waters. Fieldwork determined that eDNA is useful to predict presence/absence of invasive mussels, but not biomass.
