How long does GCN eDNA take to degrade?

eDNA is typically detectable for several days from when the organism leaves behind the biological material. eDNA has been reported to last for up to 300 hours in aquatic systems, but there is no definitive answer for this yet. The degradation of DNA is slowest when it is cold, dark, or when the DNA is bound to sediment.
