Science Transfer Toolkit: Uses and Limitations of Environmental DNA (eDNA) in Fisheries Management
The GLFC, including GEN-FISH member Dr. Margaret Docker, developed this Science Transfer Toolkit to provide fishery managers an objective understanding of the potential uses and limitations of eDNA surveillance, and the tradeoffs of employing eDNA over more traditional survey methods. This toolkit can provide managers with accessible information about current eDNA science and can help bridge the gap between eDNA in the laboratory and in management.
