Fish eDNA detections in ports mirror fishing fleet activities and highlight the spread of non-indigenous species in the Mediterranean Sea. Environmental DNA Metabarcoding DATASET

Environmental DNA metabarcoding data set.  Environmental samples were collected in 2018 (one sample replicate of 2L surface water) and 2019 (four replicates of 1 L surface water) from several Mediterranean ports and data were generated using 12S rRNA and mitochondrial COI. For each sampling campaign (2018 and 2019) and marker two sheets are presented (with the same numeration): the first one represents all the ASV/MOTUs after the bioinformatics pipelines; the second one shows the curated assignment. The last two sheets are the OTU tables (presence-absence).
