Using scat DNA to inform sustainable fisheries management and Ecological Risk Assessments: a Shy Albatross case study

Seabirds are attracted to fishing vessels through the availability of fishery discards, increasing the risk of injury or mortality from interactions with fishing gear. However, it is difficult to estimate what proportion of the population may be at risk. We use DNA metabarcoding of scats to...
