The impact of streetlights on an aquatic invasive species: artificial light at night alters signal crayfish behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Artificial light at night (ALAN) can significantly alter the behaviour, communication and orientation of animals, and will potentially interact with other stressors to affect biodiversity.

Experimental infection of white spot syndrome virus in freshwater crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus [PDF]

open access: yesDiseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2001
The signal freshwater crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus was found to be susceptible to infection with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Histopathological observations of various tissues of virus-injected crayfish showed similar symptoms to those from WSSV-infected penaeid shrimp, but no appearance of white spots on the cuticle or reddish body colour ...

An i-type lysozyme from a crustacean, Pacifastacus leniusculus, functions as a clot-destabilizing enzyme.

open access: yesFish and Shellfish Immunology
Lysozymes are hydrolytic enzymes, and they are ubiquitous among all living organisms. They are mostly associated with antibacterial properties through their muramidase activity, while other properties such as iso-peptidase activity are also common ...

Molecular Characterisation of Endangered White‐Clawed Crayfish Populations in Southern Switzerland

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the phylogeography of the endangered European White‐Clawed Crayfish (WCC) Austropotamobius pallipes species complex in the main tributaries of the Po River basin in southern Switzerland and northern Italy, a diversity hotspot for this species.

Burrowing behaviour of signal crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana), in the River Great Ouse, England [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Observations were made on crayfish burrows in five locations on the Great Ouse River. The burrow densities and the relative abundance of crayfish were observed.

Environmental concentrations of sulfamethoxazole increase crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus susceptibility to White Spot Syndrome Virus.

open access: yesFish and Shellfish Immunology, 2020
Antibiotics used for humans and livestock are emerging as pollutants in aquatic environments. However, little is known about their effect on aquatic organisms, especially in crustaceans.

River Connectivity in Dammed Areas Studied Through Environmental DNA Metabarcoding at Community and Species Levels

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The field of environmental DNA (eDNA) is rapidly expanding with established applications in biodiversity monitoring, rare species detection and ecological assessment. However, its potential to evaluate species connectivity in fragmented aquatic systems remains underexplored.

Additional crayfish survey of Checkley Brook, Hollywood End Brook and Black Brook (Goyt) 1999 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
This is the report on the Additonal Crayfish Survey of Checkley Brook, Hollywood End Brook and Black Brook from 1999 by the Environment agency. The aim of the 1999 survey was to obtain a more complete picture of the crayfish distribution in those areas.

Apparent interspecific transmission of Aphanomyces astaci from invasive signal to virile crayfish in a sympatric wild population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The crayfish plague pathogen (Aphanomyces astaci) causes mass mortalities of European crayfish when transmitted from its original North American crayfish hosts.

Impact of the Highly Invasive Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) on Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Communities

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive non‐native species threaten freshwater ecosystems, disrupting the functioning and structure of the food chain and potentially leading to biodiversity loss. As omnivores, crayfish can modify their environment, directly affecting organisms such as macroinvertebrates.
