This 10 January 2018 video about American red swamp crayfish in Dutch Amsterdam. Hundreds of thousands of individuals of this invasive species now live in the city’s waters.

Researchers from Hokkaido University have found that signal crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus, may have endangered the habitat of Japanese crayfish, Cambaroides japonicas, through a survey method utilizing eDNA. The results suggest that signal crayfish are more widely distributed than Japanese crayfish in the streams around Lake Akan: here.
