Socio-economic drivers and non-indigenous freshwater crayfish species in Europe

Abstract: Non-indigenous freshwater crayfish species (NICS) outnumber the indigenous ones in many European countries, representing a major threat to biodiversity via the spread of crayfish 'plague' and aggressive invasion and antagonism performance. Although the biological basis of this situation is well studied, the possible role of social, economic and demographic factors on this situation has been ignored. In an attempt to explore such relationships, we suggest that human population density and economic growth (measu… Show more

“…The keeping of aquatic animals in aquaria is one of the most popular hobbies worldwide (Perdikaris et al, 2012;Turkmen and Karadal, 2012), and there is no surprise that the international aquarium pet trade has been growing rapidly in recent decades (Miller-Morgan, 2010). Four of the world's top five exporting countries are from Asia (Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand) and one is from Europe (the Czech Republic) (Ploeg, 2013).…”

“…Several socio economic and demographic factors (e.g. human population density and gross domestic product) have been found to be drivers of NICS spread among European territories (Chucholl et al, 2012;Perdikaris et al, 2012;Chucholl, 2015). General patterns of pet market-traded crayfish species suggest that more species are available in industrialized Western European countries (particularly if their trading is not banned).…”

“…General patterns of pet market-traded crayfish species suggest that more species are available in industrialized Western European countries (particularly if their trading is not banned). Generally lower economic spending power and to some degree a related delay in the development of internet-based commerce have in the past helped at least in part to save Eastern Europe from NICS establishment (Perdikaris et al, 2012). Nevertheless, that situation is apparently changing very quickly in the case of the crayfish pet trade.…”
