The data included here include field data from initial method development as part of AIMS appropriation, and later testing through several CoTS Control Innovation Program (CCIP) projects. Data consist of filtered water samples, in most cases collected with 12 replicates at three sites per reef. Data Dictionary: Field name: Explanation/units Date: Julian Date Year: Collection Year Reef: GBR Reef Name Site_name: Site name Site_No: Site number Lat: Latitude in decimal degrees Long: Longitude in decimal degrees Project: Project Code Reef_rep: replicate number on a reef basis Site_rep: replicate number on a site PCR1_binary: First technical PCR replicate: positive or negative (1 or 0) PCR2_binary: First technical PCR replicate: positive or negative (1 or 0) LOD_sample_positive: Limit of Detection based: 1 if either of the technical replicates are positive PCR1_conc: CoTS eDNA copy number per L water filtered, first technical replicate PCR2_conc: CoTS eDNA copy number per L water filtered, second technical replicate Conc_mean: CoTS eDNA copy number per L water filtered, averaged over both replicates
