Environmental DNA robotic and manual sampling data, Yellowstone and Snake Rivers, 2017-2019

Environmental DNA detection results from samples collected using autonomous water sampling robots and manual approaches. Samples were collected in the Upper Yellowstone River (Montana) and Upper Snake River (Idaho/Wyoming) in 2018 and 2019. Samples were tested for the DNA of the following species: the waterborne protozoa Naegleria spp., the fish pathogen Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, Scomber japonicas (mackerel fish), kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) and dreissenid mussel (Dreissena spp.).

本数据集涵盖采用自主水下采样机器人与人工采样两种方式获取的环境DNA（Environmental DNA）检测结果。样本采集于2018年与2019年的黄石河上游（蒙大拿州）及斯内克河上游（爱达荷州/怀俄明州）。本次检测针对以下物种的DNA展开：水生原生动物耐格里属（Naegleria spp.）、鱼类病原体Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae、日本鲭（Scomber japonicas，俗称鲭鱼）、陆封型红大麻哈鱼（kokanee salmon，学名Oncorhynchus nerka）以及饰贝属贻贝（Dreissena spp.）。
