Integrating population genetics and species distribution modelling to guide conservation of the noble crayfish, Astacus astacus, in Croatia [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 The noble crayfish, Astacus astacus, is an indigenous European freshwater species. Its populations show significant declines caused by anthropogenic pressure on its habitats, climate change and the spread of invasive species.

Genetic diversity and structure of the noble crayfish populations in the Balkan Peninsula revealed by mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA markers [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background The noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) is a native European species in decline, with a contracting range and diminishing populations and abundance. Previous studies revealed this species significant genetic diversity in the south-eastern Europe,

Use of three forms of decapsulated Artemia cysts as food for juvenile noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) [PDF]
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2011 Summerling (six-month old) noble crayfish fed two forms of freshly decapsulated (FD) Artemia cysts more than tripled their weight during a 75-day experiment under controlled conditions. Final survival rates were at the level of 90%.

Colonization history and human translocations explain the population genetic structure of the noble crayfish (
Aquatic conservation, 2021 1. The noble crayfish ( Astacus astacus ) is an endangered freshwater species in Europe. The main threat is from lethal crayfish plague, caused by the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci that has been spread over Europe by introduced North American crayfish ...

, 2018 Once abundant, indigenous noble crayfish stocks in Europe have suffered from a long-term population decline due to the spread of North-American crayfish species. They are latent carriers of the crayfish plague agent Aphanomyces astaci, which is lethal to all European native crayfish species. Until 2008, Estonia was one of the last countries where alien

GENETIC DIFFERENCES AMONG NOBLE CRAYFISH (ASTACUS ASTACUS) STOCKS IN FINLAND, SWEDEN AND ESTONIA BASED ON THE ITS1 REGION [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006 Noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) is indigenous to Finland. The distribution of A. astacus has diminished dramatically during the past century, due to environmental changes, crayfish plague (Aphanomyces astaci) outbreaks and stocking of alien signal ...
