Detjens CR. USE OF eDNA TO ESTIMATE ABUNDANCES OF SPAWNING YELLOWSTONE CUTTHROAT TROUT IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, WYOMING, USA. Research Permit and Reporting System
The primary objective of my study was to evaluate the efficacy of using eDNA to detect the presence and estimate abundance of Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout (YCT) spawners by collecting eDNA samples from spawning tributaries to Yellowstone Lake in conjunction with visual surveys of YCT spawners. A secondary objective was to evaluate whether species such as grizzly bear and North American river otter could be detected in a water sample from YCT spawning tributaries.
