We recently took a water sample out of the stream running through the Rangitane Scenic Reserve and sent it away to https://wilderlab.co.nz for eDNA analysis.
Results came back with a list of what was living in and around the stream. Pretty cool technology. We were supposed to pump one litre of water through the little blue filter, we got to 250ml before it clogged. But that was enough for the lab to identify 231 species!
