| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Because Japanese eels can be found in broad area including headwater stream to coastal area, we cannot determine which area is the most important habitat for Japanese eels. This should be solved for improving habitat environment of Japanese eels. Here, I developed the method for evaluating habitat importance of Japanese eels based on environmental DNA sequencing. In the test field, it is indicated that the upper area of estuarine basin is the most important habitat for Japanese eels. This result suggest that restoration of the upper area of estuarine basin and improvement of accessibility of this area from the lower area are required for recovering Japanese eel population.
