Quantitative and multispecies fish eDNA time series in Maizuru Bay, Japan. Time series of eDNA of 10 dominant fish species. In the eDNA analysis, two Takifugu species were detected as dominant species and were designated Takifugu sp1 and sp2. A representative sequence of Takifugu sp1 is highly similar to that of T. niphobles/T. snyderi (>99% identity). A representative sequence of Takifugu sp2 is identical with that of T. pardadalis/T. xanthopterus/T. poecilonotus (100% identity). Different colours indicate different fish species. The numbers of eDNA copies were normalised to have zero mean and unit variance.
