There have been numerous popular reports about presumptive detection of
Asian carp through screening water samples for their DNA. This is
difficult for my old,retired mind to comprehend. if someone knows how
this works:
1. How much water do you have to "process" to detect  rare fish?
2. What is the reliability of detecting the target species?

Thank you
