Impact of the Highly Invasive Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) on Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Communities

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive non‐native species threaten freshwater ecosystems, disrupting the functioning and structure of the food chain and potentially leading to biodiversity loss. As omnivores, crayfish can modify their environment, directly affecting organisms such as macroinvertebrates.

Stress Nutrition in Aquatic Animals: From Definition to Practice

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture faces numerous challenges, with stress being one of the major issues that lead to growth loss, metabolic disorders, weakened immunity, redox imbalance, and organ damage in aquatic animals. Nutritional intervention is one of the effective strategies to address these problems. Traditional research has primarily focused on the impacts

Effects of Dietary Calcium and Magnesium Levels on the Growth Performance, Tissue Mineral Deposition, Exoskeleton Development, and Molting Performance of Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis)

open access: yesAquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Calcium and magnesium are essential mineral elements for animal growth and development, playing crucial roles in skeletal formation, particularly in the molting process of crustaceans. However, their interaction is still poorly elucidated. This study investigated the effects of dietary calcium and magnesium levels on the growth performance, tissue ...

Effects of Prawn Shell Meal Diets on Hemocyte Count, Hemolymph Clotting, and Sperm Quality of the Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium caementarius

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Crustacean shells are composed of chitin, which is bound to protein and minerals, along with other essential nutrients. These components are necessary for growth, immune response, the formation of reproductive structures, and the enhancement of sperm quality.

The contralateral coordination of walking legs in the crayfish Astacus leptodactylus

open access: yesBiological Cybernetics, 1991
The coupling mechanisms which coordinate the movement of ipsilateral walking legs in the crayfish have been described in earlier investigations. Concerning the coupling between contralateral legs it was only known that these influences are weaker than those acting between ipsilateral legs.
