Crustacean and Mollusc Shell Proteins: Origin, Structure, and Functionality

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Crustacean and molluscan processing as seafood generates a significant amount of shell waste annually, owing to the dense, mineral‐rich composition of the exoskeleton. Although valorization efforts have mostly focused on chitin and chitosan, the protein fraction remains underutilized despite its prominent nutritional, functional, and sensory ...

DIETARY PATTERNS IN STREAM- AND LAKE-DWELLING POPULATIONS OF AUSTROPOTAMOBIUS PALLIPES

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2005
White-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) are widespread in Ireland in both running and standing water, although stream-dwelling in much of their range elsewhere.

Mitochondrial function predicts dominance status in brown trout

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 816-829, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In social hierarchies, winning contests confers better access to food, shelter and reproductive opportunities. Clear dominance relationships are often apparent even when opponents are matched for experience, age, size and other obvious characteristics.

Field validation of an eDNA assay for the endangered white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Abstract The white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes has undergone extensive declines within its native range in the last century. Because of its threatened status, European legislation requires the species to be regularly monitored and that Special Areas of Conservation ...

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Preliminary data on the distribution, morphology and genetics of white-clawed crayfish and on their ectosymbionts in Lunigiana (Tuscany, Italy)

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2018
The white-clawed crayfish is a complex of species (Austropotamobius pallipes plus A. italicus, Crustacea) pivotal to riverine environments. Regrettably, it is endangered in many European countries due to a recent massive decline.

Crayfish distribution updating in central Italy [PDF]

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2009
Introductions of non-indigenous crayfish have received great attention from biologists and policy makers during the last decade. Purposes of this study are to update the knowledge about the crayfish distribution in Latium (central Italy), and to show how

WHITE-CLAWED CRAYFISH IN MUDDY HABITATS: MONITORING THE POPULATION IN THE RIVER IVEL, BEDFORDSHIRE, UK

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
White-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes are usually associated with stony substrates, tree roots, or refuges in submerged banks. The River Ivel has the last known population of white-clawed crayfish in Bedfordshire. Prior to 2005, much of the bed

Remobilisation of fine sediment from chalk stream gravel beds under flushing flows: A flume experiment

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Through progressive flume experiments, this study demonstrated that increased bed shear stresses corresponded with increased cohesive fine sediment (<62‐μm) remobilisation depths from a representative chalk stream gravel bed. This represents some of the first scientifically robust data, which can direct revised and targeted fine sediment management in ...

Fine-tuning of a COI PCR-RFLP assay for fast genetic characterization of Spanish white-clawed crayfish

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2016
The white-clawed crayfish is endemic to western and southern Europe and its population has dramatically decreased in the last few decades.
