Figure legends
Figure 1. Experimental design.
Figure 2. Quantification of eDNA released from five fish species in
aquaria. The left 12 plots show results from mock fish community 1,
while the right 12 plots show the results from mock fish community 2.
Figure 3. Correlation between biomass (fish weight) and the abundance of
eDNA quantified by qSeq.
Figure 4. Correlation between eDNA copy number as quantified by digital
PCR and quantitative sequencing (qSeq). Lines indicate regressions for
each species, where pink is H. neglectus : [log(qSeq) =
1.052(dPCR) − 0.043, R2 = 0.643, p <
0.0001]; grey is M. anguillicaudatus : [log(qSeq) =
1.114(dPCR) − 0.112, R2 = 0.859, p <
0.0001]; and, orange is O. latipes : [log(qSeq) = 1.074(dPCR)
− 0.058, R2 = 0.786, p < 0.0001].
