The assessment of the habitat and water quality requirements of the stone crayfish (Austropotamobius torrentium) and noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) species in the rivers from the Anina Mountains (SW Romania)

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011
The species Austropotamobius torrentium and Astacus astacus are two species known in the EU directives to require deeper understanding of their autecologic requirements before any sustainable conservation effort could be successfully applied.

When Methodological Innovation Changes the Game: A 10‐Year Review of Environmental DNA (eDNA) Applied to Crayfish

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2024.
ABSTRACT The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) as a tool for monitoring represents a major innovative advance in environmental science, one that enables the detection of species without the need to observe or capture them. This article assesses the state of play of eDNA research targeting crayfish.

DISTRIBUTION, RECENT MORTALITIES AND CONSERVATION MEASURES OF CRAYFISH IN HELLENIC FRESH WATERS

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2007
Freshwater crayfish are found in 20 out of 53 Prefectures of Greece (38%) and they form isolated populations in relatively pristine water bodies. Three indigenous crayfish species (ICS) occur in Greek waters: Astacus astacus, Astacus leptodactylus and ...

Two indigenous European crayfish under threat – how can we retain them in aquatic ecosystems for the future?

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011
Indigenous crayfish species (ICS) are under threat in Europe; due to competition from invasive non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) from crayfish plague, which is carried by introduced American crayfish, and habitat degradation.
