Acute Toxicity of Carbon Dioxide to Juvenile Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) Acute Toxicity of Carbon Dioxide to Juvenile Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii)
This study evaluated the use of dissolved carbon dioxide as a control method for juvenile red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). Four concentrations of CO2 and a control were administered to 18 test tanks over a 96-hour period. Red swamp crayfish were observed for behavioral changes during the exposure and were assessed for mortality 24 hours post treatment. Datasets include daily...
Acute Toxicity of Carbon Dioxide to Crayfish Acute Toxicity of Carbon Dioxide to Crayfish
This study evaluated the use of dissolved carbon dioxide as a control method for invasive crayfish. Five concentrations of CO2 were administered to twenty-four test tanks at a water temperature of 5°C. Initially, Red Swamp Crayfish (RSC; Procambarus clarkii) were intended to be the test species used in the study. However, problems with obtaining a healthy population of RSC occurred, so...
Crayfish densities in relation to concentrations of metals in sediment and water in Madison County, Missouri, 2004-2015 Crayfish densities in relation to concentrations of metals in sediment and water in Madison County, Missouri, 2004-2015
Data was collected during a series of studies that assessed the effects of metals on crayfish in mining districts in Missouri. Adult crayfish were collected in riffles to determine whether crayfish densities were lower at sites downstream of mining areas compared to sites upstream of mining areas. Metal concentrations in surface or pore water and less than 2-mm sediment were measured and
Chronic toxicity of metals in two water hardness to three sizes of the crayfish Faxonius quadruncus Missouri, USA 2017-2018 Chronic toxicity of metals in two water hardness to three sizes of the crayfish Faxonius quadruncus Missouri, USA 2017-2018
Laboratory studies were conducted to examine the effect of water hardness and age of crayfish on the toxicity of environment-based metals mixture. Additionally, the effects of chronic exposure to a metals mixture to egg development in adult F. quadruncus were assessed. Mortality and growth of F. quadruncus were assessed. These data consist of attributes of water quality from toxicity...
Effects of metals from historical mining on crayfish in Madison County Missouri USA, 2015 Effects of metals from historical mining on crayfish in Madison County Missouri USA, 2015
Deposits of lead (Pb) and other metals in southeastern Missouri, USA have been exploited since the 1700s. Metal contamination of fish and other aquatic biota, alteration of fish and invertebrate communities, and public health advisories against human consumption of Pb-contaminated fish have resulted. The Little Saint Francis River (LFSR) and its tributaries, which drain the mining...
Crayfish morphometric measurements, burrow attributes and occupancy in response to physical burrow barriers Crayfish morphometric measurements, burrow attributes and occupancy in response to physical burrow barriers
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...

Movement patterns of invasive red swamp crayfish vary with sex and environmental factors Movement patterns of invasive red swamp crayfish vary with sex and environmental factors
Invasive species disproportionately invade freshwater ecosystems, threatening biodiversity. Defining when, where, and why aquatic invasive species move can help inform management strategies, yet the movement ecology of some of the most pervasive invasive species remains unknown. Red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii; RSC) are the most widespread invasive crayfish and negatively affect...

Chronic effects of metal releases from historical mining on threatened crayfish in Madison County Missouri, USA Chronic effects of metal releases from historical mining on threatened crayfish in Madison County Missouri, USA
The Little St. Francis River and its tributaries drain metals-contaminated areas of the Madison County Mines National Priority List Superfund site (MCM) which was designated in 2003 to facilitate remediation of metals contamination within the MCM. One concern for natural resource trustees in the MCM is the potential effects of elevated metals concentrations on the federally threatened St...

Use of physical blockers to control invasive red swamp crayfish in burrows 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...

Is chemical control for crayfish in hatchery fish shipments practical? Is chemical control for crayfish in hatchery fish shipments practical?
Invasive crayfish (family Cambaridae) displace native crayfish species and alter aquatic habitat, community structure, and ecosystem function. We evaluated whether chemical control can be a reliable control agent for crayfish to ensure that shipments from fish hatcheries did not result in new infestations of invasive crayfish. A series of acute (≤1 h) toxicity tests were conducted to...

Field application of carbon dioxide as a behavioral control method for invasive red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in southeastern Michigan water retention ponds Field application of carbon dioxide as a behavioral control method for invasive red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in southeastern Michigan water retention ponds
This study evaluated carbon dioxide (CO2) injected into water as a possible behavioral stimulant to enhance capture and removal of invasive red swamp crayfish (RSC, Procambarus clarkii [Girard, 1852]) from a retention pond in southeastern Michigan. Objectives of this study were (1) to determine if target CO2 concentrations were attainable within the infested pond and (2) to determine if...

Evaluation of dissolved carbon dioxide to stimulate emergence of red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Decapoda: Cambaridae) from infested ponds Evaluation of dissolved carbon dioxide to stimulate emergence of red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Decapoda: Cambaridae) from infested ponds
Invasive crayfish have adverse effects on habitats and native species. Control of invasive crayfish populations is a major challenge facing natural resource managers. This study evaluated the effectiveness and optimal conditions for the control agent carbon dioxide (CO2) which can be diffused into water to facilitate capture of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii; RSC). The efficacy...
