Evaluating Metabarcoding Markers for Identifying Zooplankton and Ichthyoplankton Communities to Species in the Salish Sea: Morphological Comparisons and Rare, Threatened or Invasive Species

Evaluating Metabarcoding Markers for Identifying Zooplankton and Ichthyoplankton Communities to Species in the Salish Sea: Morphological Comparisons and Rare, Threatened or Invasive Species

Zooplankton and ichthyoplankton community assessments depend on species diagnostics, yet morphological identifications are time-consuming, require taxonomic expertise, and are hampered by a lack of diagnostic characters, particularly for larval stages. Metabarcoding can identify multiple species in...
