Unraveling Fish Community Diversity and Structure in the Yellow Sea: Evidence from Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Bottom Trawling by Jinyong Zhang, Xiaoyu Cui, Lin Lin, Yuan Liu, Jinqing Ye, Weiyue Zhang, Hongjun Li

“…In addition, we compared the various methods used to estimate the distributions of taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity factors. We found that eDNA metabarcoding detected a greater number of species (86 vs. 41), genera (73 vs. 37), and families (42 vs. 25) than bottom trawl results at each sampling station. eDNA metabarcoding provided higher Shannon, Simpson, and Chao1 alpha diversity indices than the bottom trawl results. …”
