Applications and Prospects of Environmental DNA (eDNA) Technology for Coral Reef Fish Species Identification in Hainan Island
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Environmental DNA (eDNA) technology has made its mark in biodiversity monitoring in recent years, providing a new means for traditional coral reef fish surveys. This study takes the identification of coral reef fish species in Hainan Island as the core, and systematically reviews the principles, methods of eDNA technology and its application progress in tropical waters. This paper introduces the current status of coral reef ecosystems in Hainan Island and the limitations of traditional fish monitoring methods, explains the background and advantages of the rise of eDNA technology; analyzes the source, characteristics and stability of eDNA, summarizes the collection and preservation methods of water samples and the standard procedures for DNA extraction, amplification and sequence analysis. On this basis, the development and main achievements of eDNA technology in aquatic ecology research are summarized, including fish diversity monitoring cases in typical coral reefs such as Hawaii and Okinawa, Japan, and the adaptability of applications in different sea areas and differences with traditional methods are compared. By reviewing the current research status of fish diversity in coral reefs in Hainan Island, we pointed out the distribution of key protected species and endemic species and the shortcomings in current monitoring. This study believes that eDNA technology has the advantages of high sensitivity and non-invasiveness, which can effectively make up for the shortcomings of traditional methods and has important application value in the protection and management of fish diversity in Hainan Island coral reefs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
