Reviews in Aquaculture, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 13(3), P. 1488 - 1530

Published: Jan. 12, 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 considered highly prolific as females may lay over one thousand eggs in a single clutch. Despite generally preferring slow‐moving streams its range, it has wide environmental tolerance, making capable of establishing populations when introduced range other conditions habitats. These biological ecological features render suitable popular species for aquaculture worldwide, being second most important economically (after red swamp Procambarus clarkii ). Adding that, unique coloration fuels demand value aquarium enthusiasts, attractive pet trade. Today, widely translocated (67 countries/territories) various established wild (22 countries) have been reported on every continent except Antarctica. Information potential or observed impacts, however, sparse often anecdotal. To address this gap, comprehensive review compiles all available information species, covering taxonomy description, biology ecology, non‐native ranges accompanied with documented introduction pathways. Built upon these, we conducted socio‐economic classification distribution modelling. We reveal lack thorough impact assessments despite sufficient indications major observable impacts at local scales. call attention importance managing use prominent

Contrasting Patterns of Genetic Variability in Pet‐Traded Red Swamp Crayfish Procambarus clarkii and Its Feral Populations

Freshwater Biology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 70(2)

ABSTRACT The ornamental pet trade has emerged as one of the most important pathways for introduction non‐native aquatic species. In last two decades, freshwater crayfish have become a popular group, with numerous populations established through this way, including some North American red swamp Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852). Whilst routes aquaculture‐derived been identified molecular methods and historical documents, obtaining traceability in market is often more challenging. We analysed 283 pet‐traded feral P. individuals, originating from Europe Southeast Asia, variation fragment mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) to determine genetic amongst 11 shops various countries, outdoor aquaculture Indonesia 27 likely releases animals. found 13 haplotypes, four which had not detected before.

Identifying economic costs and knowledge gaps of invasive aquatic crustaceans

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 813, P. 152325 - 152325

Despite voluminous literature identifying the impacts of invasive species, summaries monetary costs for some taxonomic groups remain limited. Invasive alien crustaceans often have profound on recipient ecosystems, but there may be great unknowns related to their economic costs. Using InvaCost database, we quantify and analyse reported associated with globally across taxonomic, spatial, temporal descriptors. Specifically, prominent aquatic - crayfish, crabs, amphipods, lobsters. Between 2000 2020, crayfish caused US$ 120.5 million in costs; vast majority (99%) being attributed representatives Astacidae Cambaridae. Crayfish-related were unevenly distributed countries, a strong bias towards European economies (US$ 116.4 million; mainly due signal Sweden), followed by from North America Asia. The also largely predicted or extrapolated, thus not based empirical observations. these limitations, increased considerably over past two decades, averaging 5.7 per year. crabs 150.2 since 1960 ratios again uneven (57% 42% Europe). Damage-related dominated both (80%) (99%), management lacking even more under-reported. Reported amphipods 178.8 thousand) lobsters 44.6 lower, suggesting lack effort reporting effects that are non-monetised. well-known damage crustaceans, identify data limitations prevent full accounting groups, while highlighting increasing at several scales available literature. Further cost reports needed better assess true magnitude crustaceans.

This review summarizes and analyses information on freshwater crayfish introductions in Africa. A total of 136 research papers reports were found to be relevant. Forty-eight percent reported presence; 21% described negative impacts; 11% referred potential socio-economic benefits; 9% evaluated control measures; 6% documented co-introduced parasites. Out nine introduced species, five species Astacus astacus, Cherax quadricarinatus, Faxonius limosus, Procambarus clarkii, virginalis have established populations the wild. astacus F. limosus are present only Morocco P. is limited Madagascar. quadricarinatus clarkii six countries, respectively. The main driver was provide benefits through aquaculture fisheries development but there evidence success. Prevailing impacts linked damage agricultural water infrastructure, fishing gear declining performance.
