Figure 4
Temporal evolution of the proportion of eDNA concentration binned by depth category in a representative simulation. Here, the first three days (72 h) of a summer (JAS) simulation with 50% of individuals migrating is shown. The proportion of eDNA is shown in three depth bins at each time point: surface (0–100 m), mid-depth (100–450 m) and deep water (450–550 m). The DVM-induced temporal variation of the relative proportion and the persistence of eDNA in the surface layer when organisms are not present in the daytime are pronounced.
