We have developed species-specific TaqMan assays for two California fish species, the threatened delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) and the introduced wakasagi smelt (Hypomesus nipponensis). The assays are capable of correctly identifying each species with 100% accuracy, with no cross-species amplification. We anticipate these assays will prove useful for future scientific studies requiring genetic species identification (e.g. predation of smelt) or monitoring (e.g. detection of delta smelt near water diversions).
