Environmental DNA persistence and fish detection in captive sponges

Abstract: Large and hyper-diverse marine ecosystems pose significant challenges to biodiversity monitoring. While environmental DNA (eDNA) promises to meet many of these challenges, recent studies suggested that sponges, as ‘natural samplers’ of eDNA, could further streamline the workflow for detecting marine vertebrates. However, beyond pilot studies demonstrating the ability of sponges to capture eDNA, little is known about the journey of eDNA particles in the sponge tissues, and the effectiveness of the latter compar… Show more

“…However, sponge nsDNA accumulation and degradation rates still require investigation to quantify temporal variation in eDNA signals from these natural samplers (Jeunen et al, 2021) compared to aquatic eDNA accumulation and degradation rates which differ by target taxa and habitat (Harrison et al, 2019). This has been done in an artificial capacity (Cai et al, 2022), but must also be investigated in natural settings.…”

“…Different sponges may not have the same pumping and filtration efficiency or even have viable tissue for DNA extraction due to microbial loads and PCR inhibitors (Cai et al, 2022). Therefore, future research must identify the best natural samplers in both benthic and pelagic habitats from those sponges that are accessible and can withstand repeat sampling as well as understand how different sponge characteristics influence eDNA recovery (Mariani et al, 2019; Jeunen et al, 2021).…”
