| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Information on genetic diversity in fish populations is essential for rare species conservation and fishery resource management, but the evaluation based on the direct capturing of individuals is difficult to conduct when the population density is low or when the target species are extremely active. In this study, developed basal techniques for new evaluation method for genetic diversity in a fish population using environmental DNA analysis. This method enables us to acquire an enormous volume of genetic information from a number of individuals at once which could not attain by the other conventional capturing methods.
