JNCC wishes to commission a contract to undertake analysis of benthic DNA samples that will be collected during the COR0924 survey to a region offshore of St Kilda in Autumn 2024.

Metaprobes have been increasingly used in recent years to passively collect DNA from marine habitats. They have the potential to provide a relatively cheap and minimal extra effort method of sampling DNA in marine ecosystems, complementing existing traditional survey methods. Metaprobes have been deployed in inshore waters but there is limited understanding of their use in offshore waters. JNCC aim to address this research gap by asking the overarching question: Can we detect benthic species offshore using eDNA collected with metaprobes?
JNCC will be collaborating with Agri-Food and Bioscience Institute (AFBI) to undertake an offshore survey aboard the RV Corystes to a region offshore of St Kilda (survey code COR0924).
