Abstract

The Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA) engaged the Centre for Tropical Water and Aquatic Ecosystem Research (TropWATER) to conduct environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis of water samples collected at Saibai, Mua, Kirriri and Muralag Islands during the 2022 sampling campaign.

The species targeted on each island were: Kirriri Island and Muralag Island – cane toad (Rhinella marina); Mua Island – cane toad and snakehead fish (Channa striata); Saibai Island – cane toad, snakehead and tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus and Tilapia mariae). No presence of eDNA from any of the invasive species assessed was detected at any of the sites and islands surveyed in the 2022 sampling campaign.
