The farmer's enemy: pest freshwater crab Parathelphusa convexa De Man, 1879 (Decapoda: Gecarcinucidae) established in West Sumatra, Indonesia

Original language description

Biological invasions cause huge environmental and socio-economic losses worldwide. Among successful invaders, there are also several decapod crustacean species. In this study, we report the presence of an potentially invasive crab species that damages rice crops in Sumatra, Indonesia. This paddy -field crab Parathelphusa convexa De Man, 1879 is a freshwater species native to Java, which was introduced in Sumatra around 2000 via an uncertain pathway. The sampling was conducted from July to September 2021 in paddy fields in West Sumatra, where its well -established population was discovered. The crab negatively impacts rice plants and paddy fields in the region through grazing and burrowing behaviour. Since the species is too small to be attractive for human consumption and also, it is not popular for ornamental keeping due to indistinct colouration, it has no benefits for local communities and is considered unwanted. The continuous monitoring of the species with possible regulation or eradication activity in Sumatra is recommended.
