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.

Environmental DNA‐based methods detect the invasion front of an advancing signal crayfish population
Environmental DNA, 2022 Aquatic invasive species, such as the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus), present a major threat to freshwater ecosystems. However, these species can be challenging to detect in recently invaded habitats.

Invasive crayfish impacts on native fish diet and growth vary with fish life stage [PDF]
, 2016 Assessing the impacts of invasive organisms is a major challenge in ecology. Some widespread invasive species such as crayfish are potential competitors and reciprocal predators of ecologically and recreationally important native fish species.
