The signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana, 1852) (Crustacea, Decapoda) is threatening the near future of Margaritifera margaritifera Linnaeus, 1758 (Bivalvia, Unionoida) in the Negro River (NW Zamora, Spain)

J. Morales

Abstract: We studied the incidence of the signal crayfish on a population of Margaritifera margaritifera in the Negro River (Zamora, Spain) during the summers of 2019 to 2022. The incidence of predation was assessed as a mortality factor in relation to floods and the hydrology of the river. The crayfish were trapped in a small plot of high pearl mussels density monitored since 2002, and collected each summer since 2019, during which time their abundance increased (65 % in three years). Simultaneously, we counted the she… Show more

“…Furthermore, the Nalón-Narcea Basin hosts one of the most important populations of the freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera (Álvarez-Claudio et al, 2000;Lopes-Lima et al, 2015;Perea et al, 2022) Likewise, the lower reaches of the Nalón River are also reproductive habitats for the threatened sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) (Mateus et al, 2012;Mota et al, 2016). As has been demonstrated, the presence of invasive crayfish can cause serious problems in M. margaritifera populations (Morales, 2023) and P. marinus (Hume et al, 2021;Smith & Marsden, 2009), so the presence of P. virginalis can cause similar effects of direct predation of adults, eggs and/ F I G U R E 3 Cladogram of the genus Procambarus. Maximum-likelihood method based on COI sequences using the GTR + G + I model with 10,000 bootstrap replicates and 10% of burning was considered to interpret significant nodes, setting a minimum value of 70%.…”
