Pacific Coast Oyster Aquaculture
This project involves over a dozen academic scientists, natural areas managers, people from the oyster aquaculture industry, and people who overlap across these categories, all focused on answering major questions in aquaculture. Where do the fish dwell?...UNH-CALeDNA aligned protocol test
This is a pilot project to test CALeDNA protocols at the HCGS.
Interesting organisms
Castor canadensis
Species
The North American beaver is a keystone wetland engineer whose dams change hydrology, sediment, and habitat structure. Its eDNA signal is useful in restoration and watershed monitoring.
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha
Species
Chinook salmon are the largest Pacific salmon and an important species for river, estuary, and coastal monitoring. Their eDNA can reveal habitat use across freshwater and marine life stages.
Clupea pallasii
Species
Pacific herring are schooling forage fish that support coastal food webs across the North Pacific. Their spawning runs make them a frequent signal in marine and estuarine eDNA projects.
Sylvilagus bachmani
Species
The brush rabbit is a western North American cottontail associated with dense shrubs and coastal scrub. eDNA detections can complement field observations in fragmented habitats.
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
Species
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, often called Bd, is the amphibian chytrid fungus associated with chytridiomycosis. eDNA observations can help screen aquatic habitats for this pathogen.
Oncorhynchus
Genus
Oncorhynchus includes Pacific salmon and trout, a group central to coldwater ecosystem monitoring. Genus-level detections can capture salmonid signals when species-level assignment is uncertain.
Myocastor coypus
Species
The coypu, also known as nutria, is a semiaquatic rodent that can reshape marshes and waterways through grazing and burrowing. Its detections are relevant for invasive species surveillance.
