Status and management of noble crayfish Astacus astacus in Estonia [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2009 Noble crayfish Astacus astacus (L.) is an indigenous and the only crayfish species in Estonia. It is potentially endangered by invasion of alien species, diseases and habitat deterioration but does not have legal protected status and is fished only for ...

Variation in Resistance to the Invasive Crayfish Plague and Immune Defence in the Native Noble Crayfish [PDF]
Annales Zoologici Fennici, 2014 Emerging diseases, such as the crayfish plague, are a worldwide problem with serious ecological and economic impacts. Under the framework of ecological immunology, we investigated whether variation in crayfish plague resistance, the indicators of immune defence (encapsulation response, phenoloxidase and lytic activity), and the exploration behaviour ...

Exponential increase of signal crayfish in running waters in Sweden – due to illegal introductions?
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011 Sweden has only one indigenous species of crayfish, the noble crayfish (Astacus astacus, Fabricius). There has been a steady decline of noble crayfish populations in Sweden since 1907, mainly due to the crayfish plague.

STATUS OF FRESHWATER CRAYFISH IN LATVIA
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2005 There are three crayfish species present in Latvia: the European noble crayfish (Astacus astacus), the narrow-clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus), and the North-American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) species. Probably only noble crayfish
