Robustness, sensitivity and reproducibility of eDNA metabarcoding as an environmental biomonitoring tool in coastal salmon aquaculture - an inter-laboratory study

V3-V4 eDNA metabarcoding of benthic bacteria communities as a monitoring tool in salmon aquaculture.Sediment sampling was conducted along a transect from the salmon cages to reference sites.The samples were processed by two different laboratories using independently the same eDNA metabarcoding protocol.
