Description

This dataset contains the eDNA data collected in Suva, Fiji by the PacMAN project. PacMAN (Pacific islands Marine bioinvasions Alert Network) is developing an invasive species monitoring system as well as an early-warning decision-support tool for Pacific Island States. Occurrences were generated by COI and 18S metabarcoding of water samples as well as settlement plates, and processing of barcode sequences using the PacMAN bioinformatics pipeline (https://github.com/iobis/PacMAN-pipeline). The full sampling protocol is available as part of the PacMAn monitoring plan (https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379204.locale=en).
