Article Synopsis
- Populations of anguillid eels, particularly tropical species, have declined, and monitoring their dynamics is challenging due to limited data and difficulties in species identification based on morphology.* -
- A study was conducted in southern Japan and northern Taiwan to compare environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis with traditional methods for monitoring the giant mottled eel and the sympatric Japanese eel, finding eDNA more effective in detecting their presence.* -
- The results showed a significant correlation between eDNA concentration and the abundance of the giant mottled eel, confirming the utility of eDNA for assessing these species' spatial distribution and indicating varying levels of sympatry among river systems.*
The spawning migration of the Japanese eel, , along the western Mariana Ridge is considered one of the longest animal migrations. To establish an appropriate conservation policy for this species, a complete life cycle study is required, but the migratory routes of anguillid eels remain poorly documented. , , and are three common eel species in Taiwan.
