“…Although O. luteus is one of the most common species found in the Ozarks, its higher thermal growth optimum compared to species restricted to the Ozarks may partly explain its occurrence in the warmer streams in northeastern Missouri (P ieger, 1996) and in west-central Illinois (Wetzel & Poly, 2000). That C max and growth scope for O. virilis increased from 18 ± C to 26 ± C and declined at 30 ± C is consistent with the results of a previous study which found that growth rates of juvenile O. virilis increased with increasing temperature from 10 ± C to 25 ± C, then declined at 30 ± C (Wetzel & Brown, 1993). Relations between water temperature and growth are known for only two other species of cray sh from the midwestern United States.…”

“…Relations between water temperature and growth are known for only two other species of cray sh from the midwestern United States. Like O. virilis, growth of juvenile O. immunis increased with temperature up to 25 ± C, then declined at 30 ± C (Wetzel & Brown, 1993). Juvenile O. rusticus, a species that has replaced indigenous cray shes in several locations in the central U.S. and Canada, have an optimum temperature for growth between 26 and 28 ± C (Mundahl & Benton, 1990).…”

We tested for differences in maximum daily consumption (Cmax) and respiration (R) rates at four temperatures (18, 22, 26, and 30 ± C) for cray shes with varying distributions in Missouri, U.S.A. Five species of cray sh were studied: Orconectes eupunctus (Williams, 1952), found only in the Eleven Point River downstream of Greer Spring, O. hylas (Faxon, 1890), found only in the Black and St. Francis River drainages in the Ozarks, O. luteus .Creaser, 1933) and O. punctimanus (Creaser, 1933), which are widespread through the Ozarks, and O. virilis (Hagen, 1870), which has a broad distributionin Missouri but is most abundant in the northern agriculturalregion and in the transitional area along the northern and western border of the Ozarks. For species restricted to the Ozarks, C max increased from 18 to 22 ± C and stabilized or declined at the two warmest temperatures, while C max peaked at 26 ± C for O. virilis before declining at 30 ± C. Signi cant interspeci c differences in C max were found at several temperatures. C max for O. virilis was signi cantly greater than C max for one or more Ozark cray shes at 18, 22, and especially at 26 ± C. Respiration rates (R) increased with temperature for all species, but few differences in R were observed between species. Results suggest that O. virilis has a potential bioenergetic advantage over Ozark cray shes, particularly at temperatures near 26 ± C. Our ndings hint that warming of Ozark streams due to changes in climate or land use could yield growth conditions which are more favorable for introduced species such as O. virilis and possibly O. rusticus compared to native species, resulting in increased probability of shifts in cray sh community composition. RÉSUMÉNous avons testé les différences de consommation journalière maximale (Cmax) et de taux de respiration (R) à 4 températures différentes (18, 22, 26 et 30 ± C) chez des écrevisses à répartitions 3 / variables dans le Missouri, U.S.A. Cinq espèces d'écrevisses ont été étudiées: Orconectes eupunctus (Williams, 1952), trouvée uniquement en aval de la rivière Eleven Point, Greer Spring; O. hylas (Faxon, 1890), rencontrée seulement dans les bassins de drainage des rivières Black et St Francis dans les Ozarks, O. luteus (Creaser, 1933) et O. punctimanus (Creaser, 1933, qui sont largement répandus dans les Ozarks, en n O. virilis (Hagen, 1870), qui a une large répartition dans le Missouri, mais est l'espèce la plus abondante dans la région agricole du nord et dans la zone transitoire à la limite nord et ouest des Ozarks. Chez les espèces limitées aux Ozarks, C max a augmenté de 18 à 22 ± C et s'est stabilisé ou a diminué aux deux températures les plus élevées, tandis que C max atteignait un pic à 26 ± C pour O. virilis avant de diminuer à 30 ± C. Des différences interspéci ques signi catives de C max ont été trouvées à plusieurs températures. C max était signi cativement plus élevé chez O. virilis que C max chez une, ou plusieurs, des écrevisses des Ozarks à 18, 22 et en particulier à 26 ± C. Les taux de respiration (R) ...

“…It is unlikely that this temperature could be responsible for the minimal crayfish growth. In short-term experiments (<32 d), virile crayfish juveniles grew at least 60% at 20-21°C (Hill et al 1993, Wetzel & Brown 1993. Furthermore, daily consumption rates of virile crayfish are near their maximum at 22°C (Whitledge & Rabeni 2003).…”

SynopsisCrayfish are not native to the Colorado River basin (CRB), however they are now established in portions of the mainstem and in many tributaries. I used density manipulation experiments in a laboratory setting to determine intra-and interspecific competition for food between Orconectes virilis, an aggressive polytrophic crayfish now common in the CRB, and two native fishes: Gila chub, Gila intermedia, and flannelmouth sucker, Catostomus latipinnis. I tested each fish species in separate trials. Growth of Gila chub decreased when animal densities increased, however they were more affected by intraspecific competition than by crayfish presence. In contrast, growth of flannelmouth suckers was more affected by crayfish than by intraspecific competition. Crayfish growth was not significantly altered by presence of either fish. Crayfish thus reduced fish growth by competition for food, but the effect differed markedly between the two species.

A laboratory experiment was carried out to test the combined effects of ration size (1 vs 3% body weight, b.w.) and temperature (15 ± 2 vs 22 ± 2 °C) on moult increment and metabolic parameters of 80 juvenile noble crayfish (Astacus astacus). The maximum daily consumption (Cmax) and respiration rate (R) were used to calculate the growth scope (i.e. the difference between maximum daily energy consumption and energy costs at a given temperature). The conversion of R into a food-equivalent unit allowed the comparison with Cmax. Results showed that crayfish obtained the maximum moult increment when fed 3% b.w. while temperature seemed to play a less relevant role on growth rate per moult, affecting only the moulting frequency. Crayfish A. astacus fed ad libitum showed a relative insensitivity to the metabolic parameters (oxygen uptake, R and Cmax) within the analysed range of temperatures, possibly as a reflection of this "species" distribution across a broad variety of habitats with different thermal regimes. In the present study, A. astacus displayed characteristics proper of a K-selected species, as slow to moderate growth. Key-words:Astacus astacus, moult increment, temperature, ration size, maximum daily consumption, oxygen uptake, respiration rate. EFFETS DE LA RATION ALIMENTAIRE ET DE LA TEMPÉRATURE SUR L'AUGMENTATION DE LA MUE ET SUR LES PARAMÈTRES MÉTABOLIQUES DE LA JEUNE ÉCREVISSE NOBLE, ASTACUS ASTACUS. RÉSUMÉUne expérience de laboratoire a été conduite pour tester les effets combinés de la ration alimentaire (1 vs 3% du poids du corps (b.w.)) et de la température (15 ± 2 vs 22 ± 2 °C), sur l'augmentation de la mue et des paramètres métaboliques de 80 juvéniles d'écrevisse noble (Astacus astacus). La consommation maximum journalière (Cmax) et le taux de respiration (R) ont été utilisés pour calculer un paramètre qualifiant la croissance (la différence entre la consommation maximum journalière d'énergie et les coûts énergétiques à une température donnée). La conversion de R en unités d'alimentation équivalent a permis la confrontation avec Cmax. Les résultats ont montré que les écrevisses avaient -40 -l'augmentation maximum de mue quand leur ration alimentaire correspondait à 3% de leur poids corporel, tandis que la température semblait jouer un rôle moins élevé sur le taux de croissance de la mue, influençant seulement la fréquence des mues. Les écrevisses alimentées ad libitum ont montré une relative insensibilité aux paramètres métaboliques (demande d'oxygène, R et Cmax) dans l'intervalle de température analysée, sans doute en relation avec la distribution de cette espèce, dans une grande variété d'habitats avec différents régimes thermiques. Dans cet étude, A. astacus a montré des caractéristiques typiques d'une espèce K-sélectionnée, avec une croissance lente à modérée. Mots-clés:Astacus astacus, augmentation de la mue, température, quantité de la ration, consommation maximum journalière, demande d'oxygène, taux de respiration.
