Monitoring of marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis) in Radovesicka spoil heap, Bilina, Czech Republic
Original language description
rocambarus virginalis Lyko, 2017 is highly invasive freshwater parthenogenetic species from family Cambaridae with uncertain geographic origin. Supposedly, the first recorded asexual reproduction originated through a macromutation first detected in the German aquarium trade. The populations are growing fast due to their rapid lifecycle and high fecundity, when P. virginalis females are able to reproduce themselves in the same season they were born in. Beside they compete for the resources with native species, marble crayfish is also the vector of crayfish plague (Aphanomyces astaci Schikora). This highly infectious disease is fatal for indigenous European crayfish species and causes the local extinctions.
