This grant is for the purpose of advancing effective management strategies for invasive Northern Pike in the Kenai Peninsula. The primary objective is to rigorously test the effectiveness of environmental DNA (eDNA) detection methods as a rapid and reliable tool for identifying the presence and distribution of these problematic fish. Invasive Northern Pike pose a significant threat to native fish populations and the overall ecological balance of Alaskan freshwater ecosystems. Funding from this initiative will support research aimed at validating eDNA as a sensitive and cost-effective method for early detection and ongoing monitoring. Successful validation will enable improved control efforts, support targeted eradication programs, and ultimately help preserve the biodiversity of the region’s aquatic habitats.
