Summary

Field estimates of the abundance of two trout species (bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout) in Montana and rainbow trout in Washington and British Columbia were collected in concert with environmental DNA samples (eDNA) to evaluate if eDNA copy numbers correlated with abundance of trout. In addition, stream habitat data including channel units (pools, riffles), substrate, large woody debris, among others, were collected at sites.

Purpose

The data were collected to evaluate how the minimally invasive eDNA sampling methods can be used to estimate fish abundance and how stream habitat data can help improve this relationship.
