Data include field‑collected filter samples, field blanks, location information, case numbers, sampling dates, achieved filtration volumes, equipment settings, and associated metadata gathered using ArcGIS Field Maps and Survey123 forms. Laboratory data include filter extraction details, extraction controls, DNA elution results, and qPCR detection outcomes, all processed following the IBI Scientific gMAX extraction procedure. The dataset also includes QA/QC review notes and data summaries as required by the FWS IC eDNA Monitoring Program. Non‑traditional eDNA sampling events conducted for invasive carp monitoring, providing traceable sample information, validated QA/QC results, and qPCR‑based species detection outcomes for use in environmental monitoring, response planning, and cross‑agency data sharing. This dataset supports internal reporting, case tracking, and scientific analysis within the FWS Invasive Carp eDNA Monitoring Program.
