19 surface water samples from the Agder coast in southern Norway provide eDNA data targeting the COI marker to characterize eukaryotic communities. The data likely contains ecological signatures related to connectivity and anthropogenic pressures across North Sea–Skagerrak fjord seascapes. It was authored by Enrique Blanco Gonzalez and last updated on 2026-06-21.
Use Cases
- Assess biodiversity patterns in coastal fjords based on eDNA-derived eukaryotic community data.
- Model ecological connectivity between fjord systems based on genetic signatures from the COI marker.
- Evaluate the impact of anthropogenic pressures on marine communities based on ecological signatures described in the data.
Strengths
- Data originates from 19 distinct sampling locations covering major river catchments and fjord systems.
- Uses a multiplexing approach targeting the COI marker, a standard for biodiversity assessment.
- Focuses on the ecologically significant North Sea–Skagerrak fjord seascape in southern Norway.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
