Deep-sea ecosystems are reservoirs of biodiversity that are largely unexplored, but
their exploration and biodiscovery are becoming a reality thanks to biotechnological
advances (e.g., omics technologies) and their integration in an expanding network of
marine infrastructures for the exploration of the seas, such as cabled observatories.
While still in its infancy, the application of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding
approaches is revolutionizing marine biodiversity monitoring capability. Indeed, the
analysis of eDNA in conjunction with the collection of multidisciplinary optoacoustic
and environmental data, can provide a more comprehensive monitoring of deep-sea
biodiversity. Here, we describe the potential for acquiring eDNA as a core component for
the expanding ecological monitoring capabilities through cabled observatories and their
docked Internet Operated Vehicles (IOVs), such as crawlers. Furthermore, we provide
a critical overview of four areas of development: (.....
