Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a powerful method for monitoring aquatic biodiversity and evaluating ecosystem health. In this study, we applied eDNA multi-species biotic integrity index (Mt-IBI), constructed by selecting screening core metrics to capture key ecological responses, assess the Irtysh River Basin in Xinjiang, China, analyzing samples from 52 sites. The community structure showed high sensitivity environmental stressors, with dissolved oxygen (DO), total nitrogen (TN), elevation being factors, while alien fish richness negatively impacted These findings highlight importance of maintaining parameters controlling invasive species, demonstrating potential Mt-IBI early detection degradation guiding freshwater conservation.
