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].
