Vertical and horizontal environmental DNA (eDNA) patterns of fish in a shallow and well-mixed North Sea area

This dataset contains eDNA metabarcoding data of fish species detected in 17 locations in the Belgian Part of the North Sea (BPNS). The seawater samples were collected during a field campaigns in 2022. The fish species were identified using 12S eDNA metabarcoding. The dataset includes amplicon sequence variants and their associated metadata. [This dataset was processed using the GBIF eDNA converter tool.]
