“…Our results also provide detailed genetic information about the marbled crayfish population on Madagascar. While increasing numbers of marbled crayfish introductions have been reported in northern countries [11][12][13][14][15][16] , there are currently no scientific records of active range expansions. This contrasts with the situation on Madagascar, where rapid invasive spread is not only facilitated by anthropogenic distribution, but also supported by favourable environmental conditions, such as relatively high temperatures and a dense network of freshwater habitats 41,42 ( Supplementary Fig.…”

“…8 ). Subsequent distribution via the pet trade and anthropogenic releases resulted in increasing numbers of wild populations in several countries [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . The propagation of marbled crayfish is facilitated by their parthenogenetic mode of reproduction and their high fecundity 17 , which allows the establishment of large populations from single animals 18 , and may serve as a model for the spread of invasive species.…”

Clonal genome evolution and rapid invasive spread of the marbled crayfish

The marbled crayfish Procambarus virginalis is a unique freshwater crayfish characterized by very recent speciation and parthenogenetic reproduction. Marbled crayfish also represent an emerging invasive species and have formed wild populations in diverse freshwater habitats. However, our understanding of marbled crayfish biology, evolution and invasive spread has been hampered by the lack of freshwater crayfish genome sequences. We have now established a de novo draft assembly of the marbled crayfish genome. We determined the genome size at approximately 3.5 gigabase pairs and identified >21,000 genes. Further analysis confirmed the close relationship to the genome of the slough crayfish, Procambarusfallax, and also established a triploid AA’B genotype with a high level of heterozygosity. Systematic fieldwork and genotyping demonstrated the rapid expansion of marbled crayfish on Madagascar and established the marbled crayfish as a potent invader of freshwater ecosystems. Furthermore, comparative whole-genome sequencing demonstrated the clonality of the population and their genetic identity with the oldest known stock from the German aquarium trade. Our study closes an important gap in the phylogenetic analysis of animal genomes and uncovers the unique evolutionary history of an emerging invasive species.

“…Less information on negative effects is known from European localities inhabited by the marbled crayfish (Lipták et al, 2016) because its viable populations were found only recently. For example, populations in Germany and Slovakia were found in 2010 (Jansky and Mutkovič, 2010;Chucholl et al, 2012).…”

“…Its origin has been exclusively from aquariumbred individuals inasmuch as native populations of this species are not yet known . Marbled crayfish has become established particularly in Germany (Chucholl et al, 2012), but the species also is reported from Croatia (Samardžić et al, 2014), Italy (Nonnis Marzano et al, 2009;Vojkovská et al, 2014), Hungary (Weiperth et al, 2015;Lőkkös et al, 2016), the Netherlands (Koese, 2008), Slovakia (Jansky and Mutkovič, 2010;Lipták et al, 2016), and Sweden (Bohman et al, 2013). Species availability in the pet market, environmental requirements, and socio-economic predictors such as gross domestic product and human population density have been recognized as key drivers behind the occurrence of marbled crayfish (Perdikaris et al, 2012;Chucholl, 2014Chucholl, , 2015.…”

-An increasing number of non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) of apparently pet trade origin have become established particularly in Europe. Especially alarming are recent confirmation of two distantly separated marbled crayfish Procambarus fallax f. virginalis populations in Ukraine and indications of more North American cambarids present in the local pet market. The present study aimed to investigate crayfish species availability within the Ukrainian pet trade together with the climate match and risk they represent to the freshwater ecosystems generally and indigenous crayfish species in particular. Altogether, 15 NICS belonging to all three crayfish families were detected. Considering their origin, availability, probability of establishment, invasiveness and further aspects, marbled crayfish and red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii appear to be potentially the most troubling. Available information obtained from the pet trade in ornamental crayfish as a whole demonstrates that the broad availability of NICS most probably overlaps the vast majority of European indigenous crayfish species distribution, including the endemic thick-clawed crayfish Astacus pachypus, which occupies only a limited area that is situated critically close to established marbled crayfish populations. Negative effects of NICS on freshwater ecosystems as a whole can be also expected.

“…Crayfish got in Europe as an aquarium species and most likely have been infused in Germany reservoirs [5; 6]. As an invasive species marbled crayfish hit the waters of the Netherlands, Italy, Slovakia, Sweden, Croatia and Ukraine [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The main feature of the marbled crayfish is that its population consists entirely of triploid females and reproduction occurs by parthenogenesis [15].…”

Abstract.The results of studies on the effects of low molecular weight acidic solution peptides on the growth and development of the marbled crayfish artificial cultivation.An increasing weights of juvenile freshwater crayfish under the influence of dietary supplement "Albuvir" drug. With the use of histological methods of research, found the impact of 0.01 % solution of the drug on the state of the marbled crayfish lobules of hepatopancreas and fat cells. Developed a method for growing juvenile freshwater crayfish with "Albuvir", which allows to increase the weight gain of crustaceans on 24.3-27.2 % and reduce the level of cannibalism at 20 %.
