Lateral and longitudinal fish eDNA distribution in dynamic riverine habitats

Data sets accompanying the titled publication. The file „ddPCR_vs_SP_Sal tru Thalinger“ includes eDNA concentrations of Salmo trutta as measured via droplet digital PCR in comparison to endpoint PCR coupled with capillary electrophoresis (celPCR). The file “caged fish experiment data Thalinger” contains data of environmental variables and eDNA signals obtained from filtered water samples during a caged fish experiment in a glacier-fed Alpine river in Austria. See the "readme" tabs for detailed information on column contents.
