Fish Survey Toolkit

Fish Survey Toolkit

GEN-FISH will develop, test and verify a rapid and reliable field-based sampling method using environmental DNA technology. With it, we will be able to extract DNA from simple water samples to answer questions such as:

  • Which fish species are in this water body?
  • How many of each species are there?
  • What are they eating?
  • How stable is the population within the food web?

With increasing threats to the aquatic environment, it is essential that we also evolve our technologies to identify issues and potential solutions quickly.
