There were highly significant differences between the communities detected by the two methods (PERMANOVA, p = 0.0056). eDNA metabarcoding may reflect only part of the real benthic invertebrate community; however, it can be used to obtain the richness and abundance data of species that are difficult to identify morphologically, and these findings can be used to supplement morphological data.
