“…This species is capable of growing to greater than 200 grams making it the second largest commercial species of Cherax (Austin, 1987) behind the marron (C. cainii Austin) (Austin and Ryan, 2002). The popularity of the red claw as an aquaculture and ornamental species and its adaptability has resulted in widespread translocation, resulting in an extensive global distribution and it is acknowledged as a major invasive species of inland aquatic ecosystems in the tropics (Ahyong and Yeo, 2007;Larson and Olden, 2013;Saoud et al, 2013). Due to its large size and ease with which it can be maintained in captivity, C. quadricarinatus is also increasingly being used as a model organism to address fundamental questions relevant to molecular biology, physiology, functional genomics and cell biology (Fernández et al, 2012;Pamuru et al, 2012;Ventura et al, 2019).…”

“…89-92 Because X. victoriensis on P. clarkii in the Júcar Basin (Sueca) is 450 km from the reported Ebro Basin location (Villodas), such adoptions are likely more widespread than currently recognized, and more should be expected to arise. Although P. clarkii were introduced into California (Riegel 1959) and recently found in eastern Washington State, USA (Larson and Olden 2013), an exchange of endemic branchiobdellidans between the 2 host species has not been reported in these Pacific states, USA. Following the extensive worldwide translocations of these crayfishes, however, it is noteworthy that the first record of a western branchiobdellidan onto an eastern crayfish was observed in Spain.…”

Invasive alien species present a global threat to biodiversity, particularly where pathogens and symbionts are involved. Branchiobdellidans are clitellate annelids with an obligate ectosymbiotic association primarily on astacoidean crayfish. There are several examples of branchiobdellidan species adopting a geographically exotic host where endemic and exotic crayfishes cohabit the same water body. The first records of a western North American branchiobdellidan, Xironogiton victoriensis, adopting the eastern North American crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, in 2 river basins in Spain provide further evidence of the ectosymbionts' tolerance to adopt an exotic host. Given worldwide translocations of these and other commercial crayfish species, limnologists and agency managers need to be alert for further introductions of X. victoriensis and other branchiobdellidans. Impacts of these exotic ectosymbionts on habitat and biota at a new location are unknown, as are their consequences on native biodiversity.

“…In the neighboring state of Oregon, a very dense population was found in a stretch of the John Day River in the vicinity of John Day, (Olden et al 2009). Orconectes neglectus was widespread in the Rogue River system by 1977 and believed to have been introduced following sport fishing activities (Larson & Olden 2011). To date no branchiobdellidans (Table. 1) have been reported on these exotic crayfish, but whether they failed to survive translocation, or were unable to adapt to the new habitat conditions, remain to be discovered is unknown.…”

Over the last 130 years demand for crayfish has exceeded regional supplies around the world, so stocks, primarily from North America, have been imported to satisfy this need. These demands are human based and include gastronomy, sport fishing bait, food for rearing animals, educational aides, ornamentation in waterbodies, and more recently a significant increase in pet crayfish sales. The three most common commercial species from North America are Pacifastacus leniusculus, Procambarus clarkii and Orconectes limosus, although four other species are increasing in importance as they become more widely distributed. All of these crayfish in their endemic range have been reported to carry branchiobdellidan annelids. Therefore, when the crayfish are translocated, their ectosymbionts likely accompany them. Eighty-six potentially transportable branchiobdellidans are recognized in this paper, along with the distribution of six species known to have been translocated. Moreover, branchiobdellidans endemic to the translocation regions have adopted introduced crustacean hosts, which demonstrates that branchiobdellidan host species specificity is not as restrictive as many researchers believe. On the evidence to date, these translocated branchiobdellidans appear to have the same relationship and cause the same amount of damage, if any, as those on their endemic crayfish hosts. The geographical distribution of endemic branchiobdellidan—crayfish species associations are unique to each of four disjunct regions as defined by Bănărescu: Euro-Mediterranean, East Asian, western North American and eastern North American; the latter includes eastward drainages from Canada to Costa Rica.
