Environmental DNA," an innovative technology for mapping life underwater

summary
By collecting and analyzing environmental DNA in water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, the presence and diversity of living organisms can be determined non-invasively. Compared to conventional survey methods, it enables low-cost, highly accurate, and wide-ranging monitoring, and can be used for regional biodiversity conservation, invasive alien species management, and natural capital assessment in corporate ESG management.
Technical Strengths
In surveys utilizing environmental DNA, the company has a system that can perform water sampling, analysis, and visualization in an integrated manner.
The basin-based survey design and the combination of comprehensive and species-specific analyses allow for flexible biodiversity assessment according to the purpose of the study.
It also features reporting functions for ESG management and TNFD, and a visualization dashboard with maps and time series, making it easy for non-specialists to use.
Furthermore, the company has an extensive track record of collaboration with universities, government agencies, and local fishery cooperatives.
