Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids.
Review in Journal of fish biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage. Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionised biomonitoring assessments by facilitating species detection and abundance estimation in a noninvasive and indirect manner. Environmental RNA (eRNA) offers a promising complement by capturing the transcriptional activity of organisms. In addition, the study of eDNA methylation may provide an avenue for detecting the regulation of the expression of genes of interest. This review highlights the opportunities to unlock the full potential of eDNA and eRNA in supporting sustainable fisheries assessment by offering noninvasive, alternative and complementary methods for age assessment, sex identification and reproductive stage, physiological and health status, genetic structure and stock identification. By integrating these innovative approaches with traditional methods, a more comprehensive understanding of aquatic ecosystems can be achieved, ultimately leading to improved fisheries conservation and management decision-making.
