How well does NATURA 2000 protect threatened stone crayfish in Croatia?
The stone crayfish Austropotamobius torrentium (Schrank, 1803) is a threatened native European freshwater crayfish species for which Natura 2000 network represents the most important conservation effort at the European level. In Croatia, there are altogether 25 Natura 2000 sites defined specifically for this species.

Stone crayfish in the Czech Republic: how does its population density depend on basic chemical and physical properties of water? [PDF]
The stone crayfish (Austropotamobius torrentium Schrank) is one of the two native crayfish species in the Czech Republic. The populations as well as physical and chemical parameters of water (pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen ...

HOW TO FIND A STONE CRAYFISH AUSTROPOTAMOBIUS TORRENTIUM (SCHRANK, 1803): A BIOGEOGRAPHIC STUDY IN EUROPE [PDF]
The stone crayfish Austropotamobius torrentium (Schrank, 1803) is widely distributed in Southeastern and Central Europe. However, this information has not been verified until recently because of: • ignorance about biogeographic notion and hydrography

This paper presents the information about morphological variability and sexual dimorphism of the stone crayfish (Austropotamobius torrentium) in the area of Korana River in Mrkonjic Grad. The crayfish were caught by hand made baited traps from October 2018 to May 2019. A total of 46 crayfish were caught, of which 33 males and 13 females. The dimensions

Abstract The stone crayfish Austropotamobius torrentium is one of three indigenous crayfish species in Romania. Extensive research to assess the conservation status of this highly protected species is overdue in this country. Presently, the populations are concentrated in two distinct regions, the southwest and northwest of the country.

Aphanomyces astaci infection is the cause of crayfish plague in European crayfish. Here the virulence of an A. astaci As strain isolated from apparently healthy stone crayfish (Austropotamobius torrentium) from Slovenia was compared to that of the Psl-Puujärvi A.

A new perspective on the molecular dating of the stone crayfish with an extended phylogeographic information on the species [PDF]
AbstractReconstructing the origin and historical biogeography of the Austropotamobius torrentium is hampered by insufficient phylogeographic coverage of the Balkans and deep contradictions in previous molecular dating. The present work extends the phylogeographic coverage to Serbia, a country crucial for understanding the species southward dispersal ...

Potential impacts of invasive crayfish on native benthic fish: shelter use and agonistic behaviour [PDF]
Spinycheek crayfish (Faxonius limosus) and signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) are successful North American invasive crayfish species distributed throughout Europe. Both species compete with native benthic fish for shelter.
