Evaluation of visual encounter surveys of the noble crayfish, Astacus astacus , and the spiny-cheek crayfish, Orconectes limosus [PDF]
Fisheries & Aquatic Life, 2019 Several methods of sampling are commonly used to detect freshwater crayfish (Decapoda: Malacostraca). Many of them are laborious, time-consuming, and require dedicated equipment.

Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene analysis indicates a restricted genetic background in Finnish noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) stocks [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2015 The IUCN Red List indexes the noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) as vulnerable, with a declining population trend. The main threats to the species are the crayfish plague caused by the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci and the ...

UTILIZATION OF WATER CRESS (NASTURTIUM OFFICINALE L.) IN NOBLE CRAYFISH (ASTACUS ASTACUS) FEEDING [PDF]
Bulletin Français de la Pêche et de la Pisciculture, 2006 Juvenile Astacus astacus (initial b.w.: 0.98 ± 0.06 g) were cultured (30 crayfish/m2) in 200l tanks for 69 days. The experimental design was composed of three treatments as follows: control diet (C) (crude protein: 28.4% of the total dried matter, “DM”; ether extract: 6.22% DM), water cress (W) (crude protein: 20.7% DM; ether extract: 1.9% DM) and ...

Differing virulence of Aphanomyces astaci isolates and elevated resistance of noble crayfish Astacus astacus against crayfish plague [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2012 Crayfish plague epidemics (caused by Aphanomyces astaci) have been causing population collapses among native European crayfish stocks since the late 1800s. Recent indirect and direct evidence has shown that its virulence has been variable, with native European crayfish even acting as carriers. We tested the differences in A.

DEVELOPMENT OF A HABITAT SUITABILITY INDEX FOR THE NOBLE CRAYFISH ASTACUS ASTACUS USING FUZZY MODELLING [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2005 A Geographic Information System (GIS) and fuzzy modelling were used to develop a habitat suitability index for the noble crayfish, Astacus astacus. The model is based on crayfish distribution data for the federal state Hesse, Germany, which had been ...
