Compare standard and environmental DNA-based estimates of weekly and season totals of Chinook Salmon as a proxy for determination of relative abundance in aquatic environments at the Kinsman site on the Klamath River. The study, if successful, may serve as a foundation and justification for applying the eDNA methods in other areas within the Klamath-Trinity Basin and across the entire Pacific Northwest where similar approaches are applied for salmon.
