DNA yield from VLP, bacterial, and eDNA fraction. DNA recovered from six samples from Lake Ontario (four samples from Lakeside Beach, one sample from Queen's Royal Beach and Fifty Point Beach) and six samples from Lake Erie (four samples from Long Beach and one sample from Long Beach Conservation Area East and Nickel Beach) were used to calculate DNA yield from each fraction. eDNA accounts for most of the DNA (~60%) in freshwater environment while VLP DNA and bacterial DNA are present in almost equal amount.
