To effectively conserve coral reef ecosystems, it is essential to monitor changes in fish fauna using minimally invasive methods. In this study, we conducted a fish survey in the Dongsha Atoll using eDNA metabarcoding. Analyzing 37 sequencing units from 26 water samples collected across 12 sites from May 2017 to September 2018, we identified 421 species from 79 families. Among these, 192 species had not been recorded in previo...
