Freshwater Crayfish Aquaculture in North America, Europe, and Australia
Author: Jay Huner
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781560220398
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
Freshwater Crayfish Aquaculture in North America, Europe, and Australia is the first text to summarize the methods of culture for the eight most important crayfish species in the world. Methods developed to culture crayfishes around the world differ significantly, and this book enables readers to develop workable strategies for cultivating different crayfish species in specific environments. Huner and associate authors cover the following topics in detail: methods of crayfish culture crayfish diseases crayfish processing economics of crayfish culture Each of the the three major crayfish industries are well-represented in this new book and special attention is given to the specific needs and accomplishments of each area, which is beneficial to producers in other countries. For example, while hatching technology has been important in Australia and Europe, it hasn?t yet been applied to any degree in North America. At the same time, North America has developed a major crayfish processing industry. Disease problems have resulted in more emphasis on that subject in Europe and yet it is vital to all involved in crayfish aquaculture. Businessmen, farmers, scientists, laymen, or students need to be exposed to the methods and problems associated with crayfish production in different parts of the world if they are to be successful in any crayfish project, whether it be research- or profit-oriented. Freshwater Crayfish Aquaculture in North America, Europe, and Australia is intended to provide all readers with one source of information on the subject of freshwater crayfish aquaculture. Professional staff, advanced students, and extension personnel will find the entire text beneficial. Those in corporate organizations and the agriculture field, especially decisionmakersin operations, will find the methods, markets, and financial considerations in this book a helpful guide.

Management of Freshwater Biodiversity
Author: Julian Reynolds
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139502166
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
Integrating research into freshwater biodiversity and the role of keystone species, this fascinating book presents freshwater crayfish as representatives of human-exacerbated threats to biodiversity and conservation. It uses examples from these and other large decapod invertebrates to explore how communities function and are controlled, alongside the implications of human demands and conflicts over limited resources, notably the severe impacts on biodiversity. The discussion is structured around three key topics – the present situation of crayfish in world freshwater ecosystems, the applications of science to conservation management and knowledge transfer for successful crayfish management. It outlines the historic exploitation of crayfish, addressing the problems caused by invasive alien forms and explaining the importance of correct identification when dealing with conservation issues. Offering a global perspective on freshwater systems, the book ultimately highlights how the conservation of such large and long-lived species will help protect ecosystem quality in the future.

Biology of the Crayfish Orconectes Causeyi and Its Use for Control of Aquatic Weeds in Trout Lakes
Author: Jack L. Dean
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aquatic weeds
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
Sumerged aquatic plants limit the suitability for trout management of many shallow lakes in the Southwest. Control of these weeds has been achieved by the introduced crayfish Orconectes causeyi. The life history, ecology, and weed-control activities of the crayfish are discussed. Abundant crayfish populations occur over a wide range of elevations in permanent well-oxygenated ponds, lakes and streams where predaceous warm-water fishes are scarce. Weed control is proportional to the crayfish population and proximity of a rocky substrate which is preferred habitat. This crayfish is a tertiary burrower establishing relatively shallow burrows for hibernation and egg hatching periods. It has not damaged dams or irrigation ditches and has been compatible with local agriculture.
