NESP MaC Project 1.33 - Application of environmental DNA to survey Bathurst Harbour Tasmania for the endangered Maugean skate

本记录概述了NESP海洋和沿海枢纽新出现的优先事项研究--“应用环境DNA调查塔斯马尼亚州巴瑟斯特港的濒危毛吉岛溜冰鞋”。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br/> <br/> 这项研究将使用环境(E)DNA来确定塔斯马尼亚州巴瑟斯特港是否存在濒危的毛吉安溜冰(Zearaja Maugeana)。Zearaja maugeana被列为濒危物种，因为它的种群数量很少(2016年，塔斯马尼亚州麦夸里港，约3000只)和有限的分布(巴瑟斯特港和麦夸里港)。它最初于1988年在巴瑟斯特港被发现，自1992年以来就没有在那里被记录下来。此外，最近的研究表明，麦格理港口的人口可能正在下降。因此，迫切需要确定巴瑟斯特港居民的现状。这项研究将满足这一需求。<br/> <br/> 产出<br/> ·毛吉岛溜冰鞋埃德纳采样数据和推断的物种分布(存在/不存在)[数据集]<br/> ·带有分析数据的最终技术报告，包括对主要调查结果向决策者提出的建议的简短摘要[书面]

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub emerging priorities study - "Application of environmental DNA to survey Bathurst Harbour Tasmania for the endangered Maugean skate". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> This study will use Environmental (e) DNA to determine the presence/absence of the endangered Maugean skate (Zearaja maugeana) in Bathurst Harbour, Tasmania. Zearaja maugeana is classified as endangered based on its small population (~ 3000 individuals, Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania, 2016) and restricted distribution (Bathurst and Macquarie Harbours). Initially discovered in Bathurst Harbour in 1988, it has not been recorded there since 1992. Additionally, recent research suggests that the Macquarie Harbour population may be declining. As such, there is an urgent need to determine the current status of the Bathurst Harbour population. This research will address this need.<br /> <br /> Outputs<br /> • Maugean skate eDNA sampling data and inferred species distribution (presence/absence) [dataset]<br /> • Final technical report with analysed data, including a short summary of recommendations for policy makers of key findings [written]
