    Abstract: An inline filter housing with a biodegradable, hydrophilic material that operates in conjunction with a field sampling apparatus to both concentrate field sampled environmental DNA particles from water samples and to automatically preserve the captured DNA via desiccation, thus avoiding filter membrane transfer steps, chemicals or cold storage preservation requirements. The hydrophilic filter housing is capable of rapidly preserving the field sampled environmental DNA captured on the filter membrane at ambient field temperatures.

    Abstract: An electrofishing method and apparatus employs programmable hardware to generate output waveforms that will stun or alter the behavior of fish while minimizing the harm done to the fish. By programming a variety of instructions into the programmable hardware, a wide range of different output waveforms can be produced. The programmable hardware can also monitor environmental conditions to automatically adjust and optimize the waveform parameters. Finally, the programmable hardware can be interconnected by a data network to form an array of charged electrodes, with each output related and synchronized in a predetermined way for use in electric fish barriers and guidance systems.

    Abstract: A filter assembly includes a housing having an inlet port, an outlet port, and an interior compartment, the inlet port and the outlet port fluidically coupled to form a flow path in the interior compartment, a filter membrane in the flow path, the filter membrane having a porosity capable of capturing biological molecules as liquid flows along the flow path, a fluid screen in the flow path on an opposite side of the filter membrane from the inlet port, and a desiccating element in the flow path comprised of one of a hygroscopic or hydrophilic material selected to absorb moisture from the filter membrane at ambient temperature.

    Abstract: An aquatic electrical barrier that has the electrodes configured in a matrix array configuration, where each electrode element of the matrix array is mounted either directly on the bottom of a water channel or on extendable rods; the matrix array is controlled so that aquatic species may be physically moved by the aquatic species physiological response to a time-varying and spatially-varying electrical field.
