Table 2.

Japanese Jack Mackerel eDNA decay rate results when estimated by the best model. Values for eDNA decay rates are the mean ±1 SD (average of four tank replicates, except for the Large size at 28°C). Note that the treatment of 28°C ‐ Large fish biomass level had only three tank replicates due to fish mortality
