NOAA Fisheries, Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, Ecosystem Sciences Division, Pelagic Research Program seeks to purchase one or more environmental eDNA autosampler systems to support mission-critical fisheries, ecosystem, and protected species research surveys in the Pacific Islands Region.
NOAA PIFSC requires autonomous or semi-autonomous eDNA autosampling capability to collect, and filter seawater samples during shipboard, small-boat, moored, drifting, towed, or gear-integrated field operations. The autosampler system must support collection of discrete eDNA samples across variable depths, times, and/or sampling volumes, including higher-volume water filtration appropriate for low-biomass, offshore, pelagic, or deep-water environments. They can be operated by a single person on NOAA Ships, chartered vessels and small boats or attached to a variety of gear for accurate spatial sampling. They also avoid many of the contamination issues associated with current water filtering methods.
Environmental DNA has become an increasingly important, cost-effective, and non-extractive tool for detecting and monitoring marine biodiversity, estimating fish community composition, identifying invasive species, and improving ecosystem assessment. PIFSC currently uses eDNA to support resea...
