Invasive alien Crustacea: dispersal, establishment, impact and control (2011, background): “However, in some instances the presence of fish predators has a negative, but sublethal, effect because it induces a change in the behaviour of crayfish by reducing their feeding activity and increasing the time spent in shelter (Aquiloni et al. 2010).”
Managing invasive crayfish: is there a hope? (2011, background): “Indeed, as confirmed by a laboratory experiment (Aquiloni et al. 2010), eels usually avoid larger crayfish, except when they are soft-shelled, and always attack the smaller from behind.”
A review of ecological interactions between crayfish and fish, indigenous and introduced (2011, unknown): “clarkii in Italy found that eels ambushed small and soft-shell crayfish from behind, and the presence of eels indirectly reduced crayfish trophic activity (Aquiloni et al., 2010).”
Red swamp crayfish: biology, ecology and invasion - an overview (2015, methodology): “clarkii, Orconectes limosus (Rafinesque, 1817) and Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana, 1852), but lethal to crayfish from other regions (Souty-Grosset et al., 2006; Aquiloni et al., 2010; Longshaw, 2011).”
