Intensive trapping and increased fish predation cause massive population decline of an invasive crayfish (2007, unknown): “Furthermore, rusty crayfish larger than 35 mm CL are at a size refuge from predation (Hein et al., 2006) and comprised 59% of the crayfish removed over the”
The State of Crayfish in the Pacific Northwest (2011, background): “rusticus populations is necessary for control or eraurvdication (Hein et al. 2006).”
Managing invasive crayfish: is there a hope? (2011, methodology): “The study confirmed that A. anguilla preys on P. clarkii but, similarly to other fish species such as smallmouth bass and rock bass (Hein et al. 2006), it is gape-size limited, mostly catching small crayfish (Fig.”
Biological control of invasive populations of crayfish: the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) as a predator of Procambarus clarkii (2010, background): “Similarly to other fishes such as smallmouth bass and rock bass ( Hein et al. 2006 ), eels are gape-size limited, mostly preying on small crayfish.”
Overcompensatory response of a smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) population to harvest: release from competition? (2008, methodology): “Although harvest can be an effective method to control the abundance of nuisance or exotic species (Brooks and Lebreton 2001; Hein et al. 2006 ), control through harvest is complicated by factors such as demographic structure and density dependence.”
