The Lepomis gibbosus eDNA detection kit is able to detect the fish species Lepomis gibbosus in all waters worldwide and contains enough materials for 20 samples to be analysed in 8 fold (200 qPCR tests). The kit is based on the fast, sensitive, and proven primers/probe qPCR technique. The kit contains primers and a probe for detecting a highly specific sequence present on the mitochondrial DNA of the species Lepomis gibbosus.
Lepomis gibbosus
The pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) is a North American freshwater fish of the sunfish family (Centrarchidae) of order Perciformes. The pumpkinseed’s natural range in North America is from New Brunswick down the east coast to South Carolina. It then runs inland to the middle of North America, and extends through Iowa and back through Pennsylvania. Pumpkinseed sunfish have however been introduced throughout most of North America. They can now be found from Washington and Oregon on the Pacific Coast to Georgia on the Atlantic Coast. Yet they are primarily found in the northeastern United States and more rarely in the south-central or southwestern region of the continent. In Europe, the pumpkinseed is considered an invasive species. They were introduced to European waters, and could outcompete native fish.
The fish is also known as pond perch, common sunfish, punkys, sunfish, sunny, and kivver.
In German: Gemeine Sonnenbarsch or Kürbiskernbarsch.
In French: Perche soleil, Crapet-soleil or Poisson-solei.
In Dutch: Zonnebaars.
