MiFish and 18S metabarcoding data from eDNA water samples (20 m and bottom) at the Norwegian Sea Hywind Tampen OWF site

The data includes raw metabarcoding data from a water sample eDNA study used to characterize the water column at the Hywind Tampen floating OWF (FOWF) based on filtered 20 m and bottom water samples from within, upstream, and downstream from the FOWF as well as three reference stations further away from the FOWF. The aim of this study was to gain further information on the performance of eDNA water samples as a method to monitor impact on the pelagic ecosystem.
