Cover Story: eDNA-based metabarcoding surveys were conducted in high-elevation lotic systems in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, internationally renowned as a center of biodiversity. Two primer sets targeting different regions of the 12S mitochondrial gene were utilized, yielding a total of 568,000 reads per sample assignable to fish taxa. A total of nine families, 26 genera, and 40 species were detected. The primer set producing a shorter amplicon (97 bp vs. 225 bp) detected a greater number of fish species. These data were compared with an extensive body of electrofishing data (1984–2023); strong correlations were observed between species detected using both methods, although eDNA detected a greater number of species. In addition, significant correlations were observed between fish biomass determined via electrofishing and read abundance. View this paper
