Continental-wide distribution of crayfish species in Europe: update and maps (2014, background): “(2014) 413, 05 feasible and economically profitable when compared to the costs that this species might inflict if allowed to spread (Gherardi et al., 2011).”
Red swamp crayfish: biology, ecology and invasion - an overview (2015, methodology): “These methods are effective for population reduction but eradication is unlikely if populations are not restricted in range and size (Gherardi et al., 2011).”
Environmental DNA surveillance for invertebrate species: advantages and technical limitations to detect invasive crayfish Procambarus clarkii in freshwater ponds. (2014, background): “While eradication programs of well-established invaders are costly and hazardous for non-target species (Gherardi et al. 2011; Simberloff et al. 2012), a range of measures is recommended to prevent the initial dispersal of species into new recipient habitats (e.g. Davis 2009; Gherardi et al. 2011).”
Invasive alien Crustacea: dispersal, establishment, impact and control (2011, background): “Additionally, some IAC, such as P. clarkii, are known to damage the health of their consumers, including humans, because of their capacity to accumulate heavy metals and toxins in tissues and organs (Gherardi 2007; Gherardi et al. 2011).”
