Developing novel non-invasive environmental RNA (eRNA) tools for conservation of two endangered Bay-Delta fish species

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT

This project will develop novel non-invasive genomic tools to monitor two endangered fish species in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta by detecting RNA molecules they naturally release into the water. Unlike traditional monitoring that requires catching fish, this innovative approach using environmental RNA could provide more precise information about where these rare fish are and how they're doing.
