Recent developments in male fertility evaluation, sperm cryopreservation and artificial fertilisation, and their potential application to decapod crustacean aquaculture

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 848-889, March 2022., 2022
Abstract To maximise productivity, a better understanding of the underlying causes of subfertility that lead to inferior offspring and high mortality is imperative. In decapod crustaceans, most research has focused on female reproductive performance, with little attention given to male fertility.

The redclaw crayfish: A prominent aquaculture species with invasive potential in tropical and subtropical biodiversity hotspots

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 1488-1530, June 2021., 2021
Abstract The redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus; hereafter redclaw), native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea, is among the largest freshwater decapods. It matures early and is considered highly prolific as females may lay over one thousand eggs in a single clutch.

Force and Boldness: Cumulative Assets of a Successful Crayfish Invader

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Multiple causes can determine the disturbance of natural equilibrium in a population of a species, with a common one being the presence of invasive competitors.

The annual cycle of spermatozoa content in the vas deferens and some reproductive parameters in the narrow-clawed crayfish Pontastacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823)

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2019
Understanding the annual dynamic of gametes in crayfish is useful for successful management of crayfish population. The annual variations in spermatozoa content of vas deferens, gonado-somatic index (GSI), hepatosomatic index (HSI), vas deferens index ...

Fecundity of the narrow-clawed crayfish Pontastacus leptodactylus in the water bodies of Belarus

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Biological Series, 2023
Pre-larvae hatching fecundity and ovarian fecundity of narrow-clawed crayfish populations were estimated in the lakes and reservoirs of Belarus. Statistically significant differences in the fecundity of females from various water bodies were noted only for Lake Kichino.

A PROPOSAL FOR ACCEPTING PONTASTACUS AS A GENUS OF EUROPEAN CRAYFISH WITHIN THE FAMILY ASTACIDAE BASED ON A REVISION OF THE WEST AND EAST EUROPEAN TAXONOMIC LITERATURE

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
The taxonomic classification of European crayfish is neither fully examined nor generally accepted as a unifying scheme. At present, one of the most obvious differences exists between astacologists from Western and Eastern Europe.

Karyotypes and Morphological Variability of Crayfish Pontastacus Leptodactylus and P. Angulosus (Malacostraca, Decapoda)

open access: yesVestnik Zoologii, 2013
The existence on the territory of Ukraine of two sympatric widespread species definitely different by their chromosome number was proved based on the meiotic chromosome preparations. Besides the nominal species Pontastacus leptodactylus (Dana, 1852) with modal haploid chromosome number n = 93 we prove the existence of P. angulosus (Rathke, 1837) with n

First Report of Albinism in Turkish Crayfish Pontastacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Astacidae)

open access: yesActa Natura et Scientia, 2020
A female albino crayfish Pontastacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823) was captured from Atikhisar Reservoir in Çanakkale, Turkey on July 18, 2020. The albino crayfish is lacked melanin that is normally found on normal crayfish.

The food of Branchiobdella Odier, 1823 (Annelida) dwelling on crayfish and the occurrence of the fish parasite Argulus Müller, 1785 (Crustacea) on the carapace of Pontastacus leptodactylus (Esch.) [PDF]

open access: yesActa Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1999
Gut content of Branchiobdella spp. was examined in 83-945 individuals belonging to 4 species, collected from 31 individuals of Astacus astacus (L.) and 12 individuals of Pontastacus leptodactylus (Esch.) from north-western and southern Poland.

Growth performance and RNA/DNA ratio of noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) and narrow‐clawed crayfish (Pontastacus leptodactylus) fed fish waste diets

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 3205-3215, August 2020., 2020
Abstract New and viable species for aquaponics and integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) in freshwater systems can improve yields and sustainability of aquaculture. Freshwater crayfish species such as Astacus astacus and Pontastacus leptodactylus are omnivorous feeders and considered candidates for feeding on faecal matters in existing ...
