Sustainable fisheries management through reliable restocking and stock enhancement evaluation with environmental DNA.

ABSTRACT: The practise of restocking and stock improvement as a means of managing fisheries and aquaculture has been widely used. However, it is difficult to claim that fish stocking is effective due to a number of challenges. One of those is the lack of suitable monitoring and assessment methods, although all assessment approaches have their strengths and weaknesses. If the full benefits of fisheries and their long-term sustainability are to be realised, it is necessary to examine the effectiveness of restocking and stock enhancement. Therefore, effective, rapid, and dependable monitoring techniques are necessary. In this study, we used an eDNA-based method to identify G. cambodgiensis at 14 sites throughout Thailand's restocking and stock enhancement programme. eDNA from this species was identifie
