Abstract:This research documents the development and application of an eDNA detection method for Cryptobranchus allegeniensis, or Eastern Hellbender in Ohio surface waters. The purpose of this method is to enable safe, non-invasive and convenient survey strategy for these endangered animals. The DNA amplification target is the Hellbender mitochondrial genome, specifically the left D-loop hyper-variable region, which the authors use as a means of detecting and tracking the animals, and in some circumstances, distinguishing between individuals.
