US scientists track fish migration using DNA in water samples
Easy, inexpensive method can be used to help monitor and protect aquatic life

The inexpensive technique, which can have broad applications in monitoring and protecting aquatic life, was conducted in the East River, which is actually an inlet, and the Hudson River last year.
