eDNA observations, concurrent with trawl survey, of marine fish in coastal New Jersey, USA 2019

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 6,868 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods

Samples were taken in the neritic zone ocean from New York Harbor south to Delaware Bay, from shoreline out to 30 m depth contour. Prior to tows, a 1.2-l stainless steel, polypropylene-lined Kemmerer water sampler was deployed at surface and bottom, and collected water was transferred to 1-l polypropylene bottles. Once filled, collection bottle was placed inside a plastic bag and into a dedicated cooler kept in a protected cabin location. Samples were maintained on ice and transported to a −20°C freezer within 24 h of collection. Collection bottles were thawed for 24–48 h at 4°C and contents poured into a glass filter manifold attached to wall suction and filtered through a 0.45-μM pore size nitrocellulose filter (Millipore). DNA was extracted with PowerSoil kit (Qiagen) with modifications from the manufacturer’s protocol as previously described.
