Аge structure and fecundity of the noble crayfish populations in abandoned quarries
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Biological Series, 2022 The population of noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) was researched in quarries of an old brick plant in Molodechno district of Minsk region. Rare disappearing noble crayfish was found in 10 closed quarries. The presence of crayfish in closed quarries that are not connected with watercourses indicates that these populations were created by man.

Boldness as a consistent personality trait in the noble crayfish, Astacus astacus
acta ethologica, 2010 Consistent individual differences in behavioural responses to perceived predation risk may have extensive ecological and evolutionary implications. We studied the repeatability of boldness across time and its relation to resource holding potential in the noble crayfish, Astacus astacus L., using predator-naive immature individuals.
