Environmental DNA (eDNA) fish and microbial community analyses in water samples collected by long range autonomous underwater vehicle in southern Lake Michigan (2021)

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 08:52 PM | Dataset Last Updated: January 13, 2026 at 12:00 AM
This data set includes metadata for fish and microbes from water samples collected in southern Lake Michigan in August 2021. All field eDNA samples were collected using a Tethys-class Long Range Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (LRAUV) carrying an eDNA sampler, the 3G Environmental Sample Processor (ESP). Water samples were collected at various depths within following target layers: the epilimnion (5-15 m), metalimnion (15-30 m), and hypolimnion (40-70 m) during a 527 km transit within southern Lake Michigan. Sample metadata for DNA extracts are included here and associated sequences are available in NCBI Bioproject PRJNA1291671.
