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海洋和沿海枢纽新兴优先事项研究-“应用环境DNA调查塔斯马尼亚巴瑟斯特港濒危毛根旱冰鞋”。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 /> <br /> 本研究将使用环境（e）DNA，以确定存在/不存在的濒危Maugean滑冰（Zearaja maugeana）在巴瑟斯特港，塔斯马尼亚。根据其小种群（约3000个体，Macquarie Harbour，Tasmania，2016）和有限分布（巴瑟斯特和Macquarie Harbours），Zearaja maugeana被列为濒危物种。最初于1988年在巴瑟斯特港发现，自1992年以来没有记录。此外，最近的研究表明，麦格理港的人口可能正在下降。因此，迫切需要确定巴瑟斯特港人口的现状。这项研究将满足这一需求。<br /> <br /> 输出<br /> ·毛根冰鞋eDNA采样数据和推断的物种分布（存在/不存在）[数据集]<br /> ·附有分析数据的最终技术报告，包括为决策者提供的关键调查结果建议的简短摘要[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]
