Cheliped loss and abnormalities of the narrow-clawed crayfish, Pontastacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Astacidae) [PDF]
Heterochely is an important phenomenon in decapod crustaceans. Nevertheless, it was rarely examined in freshwater crayfish. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate cheliped loss and abnormalities of the narrow-clawed crayfish, Pontastacus ...

Tail Fan Necrosis syndrome in decapod crustaceans: A review
Abstract Lobsters and crayfish in Australasia can develop a condition known as Tail Fan Necrosis (TFN syndrome). Many attempts have been made to find a primary pathogen or link the syndrome to commercial activities, but a solution remains elusive. TFN syndrome is a ‘wicked problem’, a problem difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete and ...

The first Marmorkrebs (Decapoda: Astacida: Cambaridae) in Scandinavia
Invasive crayfish have attracted much attention by scientists and policy makers in Europe, partly due to their ability to transmit diseases to native crayfish species. In December 2012, 13 specimens of a new crayfish species were found in the River Marstaan in central Sweden.

Meta‐analytic assessment of physiological markers for decapod crustacean welfare
Abstract Decapod crustacean welfare is not only an ethical consideration for legislative purposes. Under culture and fishery settings, poor environmental conditions and operator practices can cause stress, which compromises the immune system and increases the risk of disease.

Systematics of the European Endangered Crayfish Species Austropotamobius Pallipes (Decapoda: Astacidae) [PDF]
Abstract Mitochondrial DNA sequence variation in the 16S rRNA gene was used to estimate the phylogenetic relationships of Austropotamobius pallipes. The program ModelTest was used to test alternative models of evolution for our data using likelihood ratio tests.

Antifungal treatments in artificial incubation of crayfish eggs (Pacifastacus leniusculus, Astacidae): Searching for alternatives to formaldehyde [PDF]
Considering the concerns about the safety of the use of formaldehyde as antifungal agent, the effects of three alternative chemicals (potassium sorbate, copper hydroxide and magnesium chloride) were tested in the artificial incubation of signal crayfish (

Eradication attempt for an early detected invasive crayfish: the case of Pacifastacus leniusculus (Decapoda, Astacidae) in the Clitunno River (central Italy) [PDF]
The signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana, 1852) is one of the most ecologically impactful decapod crustaceans introduced in Europe. As a species of Union concern, early detection and rapid eradication measures are required to prevent its ...
