The crayfish plague pathogen can infect freshwater-inhabiting crabs
The potential for A.astaci transmission in the opposite direction, from crabs to crayfish, and potential impact of this pathogen on populations of freshwater crabs require further investigations, because of possible consequences for crayfish and ...

Incidence of Paragonimus Metacercariae in Freshwater Crabs in Ammapettai Village: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Introduction: Paragonimus westermani is a significant lung fluke parasite that affects humans by causing a disease called paragonimiasis, transmitted through the consumption of inadequately cooked or pickled freshwater crabs (the second intermediate host)

Do trophic subsidies affect the outcome of introductions of a non-native freshwater fish? [PDF]
Understanding how environmental variables and human disturbances influence the outcomes of introductions of non-native freshwater fish is integral to their risk management. This can be complex in freshwater ecosystems that receive subsidies that increase

Anthropogenic CO2-mediated freshwater acidification limits survival, calcification, metabolism, and behaviour in stress-tolerant freshwater crustaceans [PDF]
Dissolution of anthropogenic CO2 is chronically acidifying aquatic ecosystems. Studies indicate that ocean acidification will cause marine life, especially calcifying species, to suffer at the organism and ecosystem levels.

Invasive freshwater snails provide resource for native marine hermit crabs [PDF]
Invasive species can have significant direct and indirect impacts on native biota. Here, we conducted a survey of two invasive freshwater snail species (Melanoides tuberculata and Tarebia granifera) in Tobago and assessed the effects on shell use by ...

Characterization of oxidative stress biomarkers in a freshwater anomuran crab [PDF]
Abstract In general, environmental responses at level of populations or communities are preceded by alterations at lower biological levels which can be efficiently detected by the analysis of biomarkers. We analyzed the oxidative biomarkers TBARS and Catalase in Aegla singularis, a freshwater crustacean highly sensitive to environmental changes.

Multiple drivers of decline in the global status of freshwater crayfish (Decapoda: Astacidea) [PDF]
Rates of biodiversity loss are higher in freshwater ecosystems than in most terrestrial or marine ecosystems, making freshwater conservation a priority.
