Ultrasensitive and on-site eDNA detection for the monitoring of crown-of-thorns starfish densities at the pre-outbreak stage using an electrochemical biosensor

The coral reef crisis has significantly intensified over the last decades, mainly due to severe outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS). Current ecological monitoring has failed to detect COTS densities at the pre-outbreak stage, thus preventing early intervention. In this work, we developed an effective electrochemical biosensor modified by a MoO2/C nanomaterial, as well as a specific DNA probe that could detect trace COTS environmental DNA (eDNA) at a lower detection limit (LOD = 0.147 ng/μL) with excellent specificity. The reliability and accuracy of the biosensor were validated against the standard methods by an ultramicro spectrophotometer and droplet digital PCR (p > 0.05). The biosensor was then utilized for the on-site analysis of seawater samples from SYM-LD and SY sites in the South China Sea. For the SYM-LD site suffering an outbreak, the COTS eDNA concentrations were 0.33 ng/μL (1 m, depth) and 0.26 ng/μL (10 m, depth), respectively. According to the ecological survey, the COTS density was 500 ind/hm2 at the SYM-LD site, verifying the accuracy of our measurements. At the SY site, COTS eDNA was also detected at 0.19 ng/μL, but COTS was not found by the traditional survey. Hence, larvae were possibly present in this region. Therefore, this electrochemical biosensor could be used to monitor COTS populations at the pre-outbreak stages, and potentially serve as a revolutionary early warning method. We will continue to improve this method for picomolar or even femtomolar detection of COTS eDNA.
