eDNA Water Quality

Water quality testing has been incorporated into our eDNA sampling project titled Merging Advanced Technologies with Traditional Knowledge for Species at Risk Protection in order to evaluate the health of the water bodies. We use a YSI multiparameter digital water quality meter to test parameters such as: water temperature, conductivity, pH, total dissolved solids and dissolved oxygen. Sampling locations reflect areas of interest as stated by members in the asserted territory of the North Slave Métis Alliance.
