Crayfish morphometric measurements, burrow attributes and occupancy in response to physical burrow barriers
October 11, 2023
Data were collected in association with the application of two physical barrier treatments, bentonite clay (a sealing agent) and expanding foam (an insulation sealant), in natural pond-burrows to suppress or kill the invasive red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). Data include burrow diameter and depth, crayfish sex and size, and determination of the treatment reaching the burrow chamber.

Use of physical blockers to control invasive red swamp crayfish in burrows
The red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii is native to the southeast United States
but has successfully invaded nearly every continent around the world. Although physical,
biological, and chemical controls are employed to reduce or eliminate populations
in open-water systems, terrestrial burrows provide a potential refuge from aquatic
control treatments. We conducted burrow trials to test whether
