The Project, within the European program of transnational cooperation for the Alpine regions Interreg Alpine Space, analyzed the environmental DNA (Environmental DNA - eDNA) in rivers and lakes in the Alpine area with the use of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), and an experiment was conducted for the applicability of the method in the extra-alpine area.
The Project, which will end in October 2021, started in April 2018 with the participation of 12 Partners (5 research bodies and 7 national or regional public authorities) and 37 Observers from 6 different countries. For the experimentation in the extra-Alpine area, ISPRA set up an SNPA Working Group which involved 11 Agencies and conducted the experimentation on lakes and rivers in central Italy.
The rapid identification of species of aquatic organisms such as phytoplankton, phytobenthos, eukaryotes, bacteria / cyanobacteria, fish, at a low cost, can complement traditional monitoring methods by providing support for management decisions on water resources.
During the Meeting the results of the biomonitoring of lakes and rivers obtained through the application of high throughput sequencing (HTS) methods in the Alpine Space and the experimentation activities carried out in the extra-Alpine area will be presented and discussed.
