Sampling Methods

The water samples were collected at five localities in the sea area surrounding the West Island, Hainan Province, China in June, 2021 . The distance between two localities is not less than 1 km. Three replicated 2 L water samples were collected at each locality.

Method step description:

1. The eDNA collection was performed using the filtration method with 0.45 um MCE membranes (Pall Whatman, U.K.). Each filtration membrane was separately preserved in a 2 ml centrifuge tube and stored at -10 ℃ until back to the laboratory. The negative control was made through filtering 300 mL pure water. The sterile masks and latex gloves were always worn during sampling, and changed between different samples to prevent cross-contamination. Both the sampling devices and the filtration tools were cleaned with 10% bleach containing sodium hypochlorite to prevent external DNA contamination.
