摘要: The protection, preservation and restoration of aquatic ecosystems their functions are global importance. For European states it became legally binding mainly through the EUWater Framework Directive (WFD). In order to assess ecological status a given water body, biodiversity data obtained compared reference body. quantified mismatch determines extent potential management actions. current approach assessment is based on morpho-taxonomy. This has many drawbacks such as being time consuming, limited in temporal spatial resolution, error-prone due varying individual taxonomic expertise analysts. Novel genomic tools can overcome aforementioned problems could complement or even replace traditional bioassessment. Yet, plethora approaches independently developed different institutions, thereby hampering any concerted routine application. goal this Action nucleate group researchers across disciplines with task identify gold-standard novel ecogenomic indices for application assessments fresh- marine bodies. Furthermore, DNAqua-Net will provide platform training next generation preparing them new technologies. Jointly managers, politicians, other stakeholders, develop DNAqua-Net: Developing genetic bioassessment monitoring ... 3 conceptual framework standard eco-genomic part assessments.
