Abstract The distribution of endangered aquatic organisms is difficult to estimate, and so is species interaction in aquatic environments. In this study, an environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding assay was developed to identify Salmoninae species and the co‐occurrence of two salmonid species: Sakhal...
