YUCO-eDNA is equipped with an eDNA filter for collecting environmental samples to identify various living beings that live in or have passed through the sampled environment.. This is a non-invasive biodiversity monitoring technique for natural environments and species. It comes with a DVL, to compensate current drift, improve positioning and keep altitude from the sea floor.
YUCO-eDNA is a micro-AUV with a watertight system that allows you to pump water without contamination through an e-DNA filtering system.
