“…There are numerous studies showing the role of signal crayfish as a carrier of crayfish plague (see review CERENIUS and SODERHALL, 1999) and the relationship of this exotic crayfish to a large number of epizootics has been consistently proven (HUANG et al, 1994;LILLEY et al, 1997;VENNERSTRÖM et al, 1998; OIDTMANN…”

“…The implementation of this plan turned out to have a positive impact on indigenous crayfish populations. The tendency of decline of A. pallipes was reversed as judged by results of surveys carried out in 1997, 1999and 2001(DIÉGUEZ-URIBEONDO and MÚZQUIZ, 1999ALONSO et al, 2000;DIÉGUEZ-URIBEONDO, unpublished). However, during the period of 1999 until present the regulations banning signal crayfish catching in the "indigenous crayfish area" have been modified according to the demands of local fishermen and more rivers have become accessible for catching exotic species with a limited policy (Orden Foral 146, 1999).…”

The tendency of population decline of the indigenous crayfish, Austropotamobius pallipes, in Navarra was reduced by the implementation of a plan of restoration in 1996. Recently, a new drop in population numbers has been noticed. In 2004, an extensive survey was carried out to study the reasons for this decline. The results showed that indigenous crayfish had disappeared from 37 out of 73 areas where they were previously present. The main causes were found to be: presence of signal crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus (40%), habitat alterations (13%) and climatic drought (11%). In 35% of the cases, the reasons could no be determined. Disappearances that were associated with presence of signal crayfish were assigned to crayfish plague. These disappearances have occurred a few years after an increase in the number signal crayfish fishery areas. The new populations of P. leniusculus followed a patchy distribution, and were clearly associated with human introductions. This work shows that signal crayfish currently represents the main reason for decline of indigenous crayfish and that humans play a major role in the dispersal of these carriers of the causative organism of crayfish plague, A. astaci.

Flexible prey handling, preference and a novel capture technique in invasive, sub-adult Chinese mitten crabs

2016

Eriocheir sinensis (Crustacea: Brachyura: Varunidae) is one of only two crabs on the world's list of 100 most invasive aquatic invertebrates. This crab has successfully invaded NE Europe as well as the United States, eastern Canada, southern Iraq and Tokyo Bay, Japan. In England, the River Thames population of E. sinensis continues to increase in numbers and disperse westward upstream, although little is known about foraging. The present study undertook a preference and prey handling study of sub-adult mitten crabs collected from the Thames. A digital camcorder, capable of detecting infrared light, was used in the laboratory overnight to identify crab food preference, document prey handling times and record behaviour. The test prey species, namely the amphipod Gammarus zaddachi, and two species of gastropod molluscs, Theodoxus fluviatilis and Radix peregra, were collected in the same habitat as the crabs, and all were consumed under laboratory conditions. Eriocheir were able to capture mobile G. zaddachi using a novel prey capture technique not previously described in brachyurans and use different skills for handling each prey species. This flexibility in prey handling may be an important contributory factor in their freshwater invasive capacity. Results indicated that the crabs had a preference for G. zaddachi which were consumed most frequently and preferentially over both mollusc species. Prey choice may be based on maximising net energy gain as consuming G. zaddachi was shown to provide the highest rate of potential energy consumption by the crab due, in part, to a much shorter handling time than for both species of snails.
