Comparisons of traditional net fishing and eDNA sampling for coastal fish surveys

2020-06-17 AquaBiota

On behalf of Blekinge County Administrative Board Aquabiota mapped the fish community in the Gåsefjärden area in Kalskrona archipelago using eDNA and net fishing, as well as compared these methods. In the month of August 2019, 45 stations were sampled by net fishing and 17 by eDNA, of which 16 stations were mutual for both […]

Limnic environmental monitoring in Sundstatjärn

2020-06-16 AquaBiota

Sundstatjärn is a popular bathing lake in central Karlstad, that has been struggling with eutrophication for many years. Eutrophication gives rise to cyanobacteria during the warm months of the year. These blooms of cyanobacteria can in turn produce harmful toxins. To minimize the risks to humans and animals, Aquabiota on behalf of the Municipality of […]

2019-09-26 AquaBiota

AquaBiota has recently completed its summer field season. One of the tasks that AquaBiota performed was conducting SCUBA diving surveys around Hanö, in the Bight of Hanö. We were struck by how beautiful it was in many places and that the biodiversity was so high. The assignment was carried out for the County Administrative Board […]

Conservation values at Klints Bank

2018-06-18 AquaBiota

Using drop-video AquaBiota has investigated the conservation values at Klints Bank east of Gotland. The number of occurring species was very limited and the dominating organisms were blue mussels and hydrozoans. Mussel beds occurred at 40% of the stations, and were more common in shallower areas where hard substrate occurred to a greater extent. The […]

eDNA detects 84 fish-populations in ten Swedish coastal watercourses

2018-03-28 AquaBiota

In February 2017 AquaBiota monitored fish-communities in ten coastward discharging rivers in northern Sweden, by using eDNA (environmental DNA metabarcoding).  From each waterbody a few litres of water was collected and subsequently analysed for traces of fish DNA in order to identify the different species. Historical data from electrofishing spanning over 30 years was compared […]

Monitoring of crayfish and large freshwater clams using water samples

2017-02-23 AquaBiota

AquaBiota now offers monitoring of crayfish and large freshwater clams using eDNA. A few liters of water from a lake is enough to detect the presence of the critically endangered noble crayfish or the introduced signal crayfish. Being a vector of the crayfish plague the signal crayfish constitutes a serious threat to the native noble […]

Inventories of nature values in Lidingö

2015-12-08 AquaBiota

AquaBiota performed a marine conservation value assessment and extensive field surveys of the coastal waters off Lidingö for Lidingö Municipality’s work with a “blue plan”. Lidingö has launched a project to increase knowledge of the municipality’s aquatic nature values. This knowledge is necessary in municipal planning to highlight conservation values, threats and opportunities for development. […]
