  abstract = {{E}nvironmental {DNA} (e{DNA}) has the potential to provide more comprehensive biodiversity assessments, particularly for vertebrates in species-rich regions. {H}owever, this method requires the completeness of a reference database (i.e. a list of {DNA} sequences attached to each species), which is not currently achieved for many taxa and ecosystems. {A}s an alternative, a range of operational taxonomic units ({OTU}s) can be extracted from e{DNA} metabarcoding. {H}owever, the extent to which the diversity of {OTU}s provided by a limited e{DNA} sampling effort can predict regional species diversity is unknown. {H}ere, by modelling {OTU} accumulation curves of e{DNA} seawater samples across the {C}oral {T}riangle, we obtained an asymptote reaching 1531 fish {OTU}s, while 1611 fish species are recorded in the region. {W}e also accurately predict ({R}-2 = 0.92) the distribution of species richness among fish families from {OTU}-based asymptotes. {T}hus, the multi-model framework of {OTU} accumulation curves extends the use of e{DNA} metabarcoding in ecology, biogeography and conservation.},
