Crayfish Symposium at Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference
Register to attend the Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference and hear from a variety of researchers and managers at the Crayfish Symposium as they share the latest findings and strategies for conserving native species and managing invasive crayfish.
Crawdaddies MN finish season with 40,000 invasive rusty crayfish
Crawdaddies MN, a sustainable and local crayfish provider, harvests invasive rusty crayfish from Caribou Lake. This season, they caught 40,000 crayfish – over 1,100 pounds– all sold locally to Cook County businesses.
Crater Lake's waters and newts at risk from signal crayfish
Signal crayfish are devastating Crater Lake’s Mazama newt population and posing a threat to the lake’s ecosystem. In response, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering potential action under the Endangered Species Act.
New web platform provides global mapping of freshwater crayfish and pathogens
World of Crayfish (WoC), a newly launched web platform, is designed to offer real-time global mapping of freshwater crayfish and their pathogens. This platform serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, conservationists, and environmental stakeholders.
Groups set sights on invasive species in Severn Sound watershed
The Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA), in collaboration with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) Invasive Species Awareness Program, is proud to announce the successful completion of a 16-week invasive species management project in the Severn Sound watershed.
This selection of invasive crayfish information is collected by the Invasive Crayfish Collaborative, a program convened and facilitated by Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant and the Illinois Natural History Survey with funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
