New paper out! We show the potential of eDNA to estimate abundance and biomass parameters for stock assessments of flatfishes in the North Sea. ILVO Sofie Derycke.

Optimized, tested and approved: dPCR specific assays to detect and quantify sole and plaice using eDNA.

Defining the focus, objectives and expertise of #WGAGFA during the hybrid meeting hosted by Naiara R-Ezpeleta AZTI ICES.

Great first day at ICES #WGAGFA meeting. Interesting presentations, nice discussions and ligth at the end of the tunnel for producing lots of relevant outputs. Stay tunned!

This afternoon, ICES #WGAGFA members looked for inspiration away from computer screens... fresh ideas and interesting discussions in a wonderful location Bizkaiko Foru Aldundia/Diputación Foral de Bizkaia

Third day at ICES #WGAGFA, wraping up old Tors (stock id, genomic offset, mesopelagics, aquaculture) and defining new ones (introgresion, genetic diversity derived indicators, emerging genomic technologies, trophic webs).

Happy #BiodiversityDay! 🌊Assessing #marine biodiversity to study the effect of sand extraction with bulk DNA #metabarcoding: this tube contains PCR products of almost 100 macrobenthic species from 65 samples. Just imagine the # of containers traditional monitoring would require!

👀👀"Here we provide guidelines for ecological researchers when writing statistical methods and review frequent errors made in Statistical Methods sections. We highlight some common dos and don’ts". Looks like a very useful paper! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Curious on how to improve marine environmental monitoring using DNA-based methods? REGISTER NOW for the GEANS lunch webinar - June 27th. Expect to hear about the outcomes of pilot studies, about new products and outputs, and about our plans for the future. shorturl.at/fpFQ0

Zeesterren, krabben, slakken, wormen... 🦀 De bodem van de #Noordzee zit vol leven 🌊Maar welke impact heeft #zandwinning op al dat leven? Om dat vlot te onderzoeken gebruikt Laure Van den Bulcke ILVO UGent een innovatieve #DNA-techniek🧬 👇 wetenschapuitgedokterd.be/welke-impact-h…

🗓️Final GEANS event is 27 June 2023 (12:30 – 13:45 CET)!
