Monthly variation of fatty acids, lipid quality index and metal content of Pontastacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823) in Atikhisar Dam Lake (Çanakkale, Türkiye)

“…Furthermore, it has been introduced into lakes and canals in the Czechia, Poland, Germany, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Latvia, France, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, and Italy (Skurdal and Taugbøl 2002 ).

“…Astacus leptodactylus, commonly known as Turkish crayfish, the Danube crayfish, Galician crayfish, European crayfish, or narrow-clawed crayfish, was taxonomically reclassified as "Pontastacus leptodactylus" in a revision conducted in 2017 (Crandall and De Grave 2017). P. leptodactylus is a native species found in both freshwater and brackish environments and holds significant commercial importance for the fisheries and aquaculture industries (Berber et al 2020;Boštjančić et al 2021). The natural habitats of crayfish encompass rivers, swamps, shallow lakes, and ponds (Kumlu 2001).…”
