“…An important aspect of effective management of rare species is noninvasive environmental monitoring using the molecular method of environmental DNA analysis, successfully applied and superior to the traditional fish survey (Berger et al., 2020; Boivin‐Delisle et al., 2020; Deeg et al., 2023; Dejean et al., 2012; Meulenbroek et al., 2022). The success of this method can be attributed to the fact that it is rapid and accurate, noninvasive and sensitive, relatively inexpensive and less labor‐intensive than other methods, facilitating the detection and management of specific species—including rare ones (Anderson et al., 2018; Jerde et al., 2011; Piggott et al., 2020; Thomsen, Kielgast, Iversen, Wiuf, et al., 2012; Wilcox et al., 2013, 2016)—as well as identification of entire communities (Araujo et al., 2023; Kelly et al., 2019; Li et al., 2018; Thomsen, Kielgast, Iversen, Moller, et al., 2012). It has also been used as a tool for the relative quantitative assessment of target species (Agersnap et al., 2017), fish communities reflecting internal ecological interactions (Yang et al., 2023), and restoring shifts in their spatial structure throughout lotic ecosystems (García‐Machado et al., 2021).…”

Environmental DNA (eDNA) technology is an essential tool for monitoring living organisms in ecological research. The combination of eDNA methods with traditional methods of ecological observation can significantly improve the study of the ecology of rare species. Here, we present the development and application of an eDNA approach to identify rare sturgeons in the lower reaches of the Ural River (Zhaiyk) (~1084 km). The presence of representatives of the genus Sturgeon was detected at all sites in spring (nine sites) and autumn (ten sites) while they were absent during the summer period, consistent with their semi‐anadromous ecology. Detection in spring and autumn indicates the passage of spring and winter forms to the lower and upper spawning grounds, respectively. This study confirms the difficulties of species‐specific identification of Eurasian sturgeon and provides the first documented eDNA detection of specimens of the genus Sturgeon in the Ural River. It also provides a biogeographic snapshot of their distribution, experimentally confirming their seasonal migrations in the lower reaches of the river. The successful detection of sturgeon motivates further eDNA surveys of this and other fish species for accurate species identification and population assessment, opening up prospects for the management of these threatened species.
