Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 163-194, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

LACK OF SPECIFICITY OF THE MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTIC METHOD FOR IDENTIFICATION OF APHANOMYCES ASTACI

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2007
A recent PCR-test developed for identification of Aphanomyces astaci, the organism responsible for crayfish plague, provided false positives for Aphanomyces frigidophilus, Aphanomyces repetans, and some Saprolegnia spp. Real-time PCR showed that with the

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.

Specific host factors determine resistance in a North American crayfish to the crayfish plague, Aphanomyces astaci

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
The crayfish plague is caused by the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci with North American crayfish (for example Pacifastacus leniusculus and Procambarus clarkii) serving as carriers and vectors for this pathogen. This poses a constant threat to native crayfish in Europe, Asia, South America and Australia, which all are highly susceptible to this pathogen ...

Detection of crayfish plague spores in large freshwater systems [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2014
Summary Indigenous European freshwater crayfish (ICS) are threatened due to invasive North American freshwater crayfish that are natural carriers of Aphanomyces astaci which causes crayfish plague. Infectious A. astaci zoospores are released from carrier crayfish, but little is known about the spore abundance in water systems that either host non ...
