Abstract The spatial and temporal patterns of marine diversity are essential for the sustainable use and management of marine ecosystems. Here, we investigated latitudinal and seasonal diversity gradients of fish genera in Japanese waters using environmental DNA (eDNA) data from 1,765 surveys conducted between 2017 to 2022. We found a negative relationship between genus richness and latitude, consistent with latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG).
