“…Another study, performed by Cevik et al (2008) on Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis), reported an overall lower strength of correlation between heavy metals accumulated in the same tissue compared with our study in addition to a smaller number of associations in general. Smaller crayfish are known to ingest a greater proportion of animal matter, which may result in higher concentrations of the tested metals and metalloid in smaller individuals because those prey animals may also accumulate heavy metals from the environment (Gutierrez-Yurrita et al 1998). In addition, heavy-metal accumulation is generally by food intake in lightly contaminated environments, and smaller individuals are consequently expected to contain comparatively greater amounts of heavy metals due to their more frequent feeding (Farkas et al 2003).…”

The present work details the analysis of heavymetal and metalloid concentrations in exoskeleton, gill, hepatopancreas, and abdominal muscle tissues of 60 crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) specimens collected from Lake Hirfanlı, a dam lake located in Kırşehir (Turkey) with a low metal-contamination profile. [Pb]) and a metalloid (arsenic [As]) were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, and the relative frequencies of the most abundant isotopes of Cr, Cu, Ag, Cd, Hg, and Pb were evaluated. Three correlation trends were evaluated between the following: (1) different elements in the each individual tissue, (2) individual elements in different tissues, and (3) different elements in different tissues. In addition, correlation rates of growth parameters (weight, cephalothorax length, and total length) with heavy-metal and metalloid concentrations in each tissue were investigated. Our results suggest that substantial differences in metal and metalloid-accumulation levels exist between male and female specimens, with stronger correlations between the heavy-metal concentrations observed in the male cohort. It is notable that correlation trends of Co, Cu, 52 As, Cr, and Ni in exoskeleton of the male specimens display strong similarities. Likewise, a very strong correlation is present in Ni-Cd and Ni-Pb accumulations in abdominal muscle of the male specimens; a similar trend is present between Cd and Pb concentrations in the same tissue of female specimens. For correlation rates of different heavy metals and metalloid in different tissues, the strongest positive association observed was between 63 Cu in gill and As in hepatopancreas, whereas the strongest negative correlation was between accumulated Ni in abdominal muscle and As in exoskeleton. Strong correlations between metals and metalloid accumulations were observed between exoskeleton and gill. In many cases, metal and metalloid accumulation was negatively correlated with growth parameters. Preferential accumulation of Cr and Cu isotopes was observed in different tissues, suggesting that significant amounts of isotope fractionation occur during heavy-metal accumulation. Relatively low correlation rates were observed between 52 Cr/ 53 Cr and 63 Cu/ 65 Cu concentrations in several tissue types in both male and female cohorts, whereas no such trend was observed between Cd and Pb isotopes.

“…This reduction may reflect habitat preferences of most Caenis spp. for fine sediment accumulations which makes them prone to ingestion or physical disturbance by foraging crayfish (Capelli, 1980;Gutierrez-Yurrita et al, 1998;Usio and Townsend, 2004;Helms and Creed, 2005).…”

“…Despite the fact that its diet in natural habitats is not widely studied, much information has been collected in its invasive range (D'Abramo and Robinson, 1989;Feminella and Resh, 1989;Ilhéu and Bernardo, 1993;Gutiérrez-Yurrita et al, 1998;Alcorlo et al, 2004). They are reported to feed on plant and animal detritus, macrophytes and live animals such as molluscs, insects, annelids, nematodes, platyhelminthes, tadpoles and fingerlings ( Fig.…”

Red swamp crayfish: biology, ecology and invasion - an overview

-Alien species have been transported and traded by humans for many centuries. However, with the era of globalization, biological invasions have reached notable magnitudes. Currently, introduction of alien species is one of the major threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The North American crayfish Procambarus clarkii is one of the most widely introduced freshwater species in the world, especially due to its high economic importance. It is responsible for great modifications in invaded environments causing irreparable ecological and economic damages. Its impressive ability to successfully colonize a wide range of environments is a consequence of its behavioural and biological characteristics that can adapt to features of the invaded location, conferring to this species a notable ecological plasticity. This review summarizes the available information regarding P. clarkii's biology and invasive dynamics around the world in order to contribute to the understanding of the threats posed by its establishment, as well as to support management and impact mitigation efforts.
