Roundtable Session 2: Does Legislation Work in Protecting Vulnerable Species?

Abstract: As a result of discussions held at the Innsbruck CRAYNET meeting and the answers given to a subsequent questionnaire sent out to the National Co-ordinators of the 11 countries/regions, it is clear that most European countries aim at trying to protect their indigenous crayfish species (ICS) from overexploitation, habitat modification, pollution, and spread of non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) and crayfish plague.Two detailed case studies are given for Austria and England plus a summary of the questionnaire… Show more

“…Fishing regulations may relate to ICS, NICS or both. The relevant legislation relating to freshwater crayfish varies across Europe (Vigneux et al, 2002, Edsman andSmietana, 2004) and within states (Puky et al, 2005), and its efficacy has been questioned (Holdich and Pöckl, 2005). Variable controls in trans-national catchments, notably the Danube system, are particularly problematic in regard to the spread of species (Puky et al, 2005;Pârvulescu et al, 2009), and European legislation is not strong enough in this regard.…”

“…Given below are a series of examples of the type of legislation in force in Europe regarding ICS and NICS; space does not permit every country to be dealt with. Further details of the situation in Britain and of that in Austria can be found in Holdich and Pöckl (2005).…”

“…Trade is usually not regulated, as the risk of C. quadricarinatus establishment, for example, in temperate regions, is considered very low (Holdich & Pöckel 2005), and, so far, no naturalization of C. quadricarinatus originating from the ornamental pet trade has been documented. In Singapore, the redclaw crayfish is readily available in aquarium shops and wet markets at prices ranging from US$ 0.75 per animal for juveniles to US$ 2.50 for mature adult individuals, which makes the species easily obtainable by the public.…”

“…In addition to obvious direct competition that is very harmful for indigenous crayfish species (hereafter referred to as ICS) in Europe, there is crayfish plague caused by the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci which is transmitted by North American crayfish species which are asymptomatic carriers (Edgerton et al, 2004;Kozubíková et al, 2007). The danger of unintended introduction of NICS is reflected on France, Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Spain, and Sweden, where the import of live ornamental crayfish is completely banned (Edsman, 2004;Holdich and Pöckl, 2005;Peay, 2009). Two feasible solutions were suggested in previous studies in perspective of the Czech Republic Svobodová et al (2010) preferred totally banned trade with ornamental crayfish, whereas.…”
