Around 40 per cent of the remaining native white-clawed crayfish population in England could be wiped out in a year after experts confirmed a deadly plague has been found in one of their strongest surviving populations.

@Tony Gonzalez That sounds positively decent.. Crayfish Mexican food... that's a first for me..Freshwater Crayfish in Australia cost a fortune and hard to find. To kill them we don't boil them. We split them (while alive) down the middle with a large knife and then BBQ them after painting them with garlic butter and chive sauce

Michael Byrnes I agree, I live in the UK and I would love to help stop them and get a tasty meal out of it. There are lots of homeless shelters and people are increasingly relying on food banks. It would be great to kill two birds with one stone. I bought a crayfish trap a while back but I couldn't work out if I was allowed to use it so it has been gathering dust in the garage. someone told me that I would need training and a lisence but I couldn't work out how to get them at the time as there wasn't much information and what I could find was often different from one site to the next. I don't want to cause more harm to the environment by doing something without the proper know how and I don't want to break the law by setting a trap somewhere that I am not meant to. It is entirely possible that better information is now available, I will have to have another look. If it was clear where to find all of the relevant information then I am sure allot more people would be trapping them to eat. it would be great if the environment agency could work with local groups to target these tasty invaders.

guy c we fed a lot of feral pigs to the dogs. A lot of people shoot them, especially the big males, and leave them in the field. They are a real danger and do millions of dollars in damage. We eat crawfish by the tons here. They are farmed intensively here. Different species but still delicious. Nearly every weekend in the spring we have a crawfish boil at a friends house and eat. It’s a pretty small party that only boils 100 pounds of them. It’s a little harder to get people to eat the Nutria but fairly locally there is a festival that specializes in serving it. Good luck with changing government policy!

No, transmission from creature to creature is also a way. And is the case here. Signal crayfish are carriers for a number of diseases, the most important one is known as Crayfish plague, which is an infectious mold. It kills off other crustaceans and has near wiped out native crayfish. Which is kind of ironic considering that the reason they're even here is because we introduced them, not knowing they were carriers of this disease, after an outbreak of this same disease massively knocked our local populations down. At the time we didnt understand things like disease carrying and invasive species.

Sadly river angling has been in decline for some years due to the rise in commercial fisheries which are overstocked giving some anglers easier sport. Thirty years ago the "angling army" would have been much more effective in the fight against the signal menace.

Oddly enough, there are a number of areas here in the US that are having problems with certain species of crawfish, which I believe are the same ones you have. Where I live in Ohio, our native species have made it to quite a few places outside our state and have been taking over and pushing out other native species. This particular type is highly invasive.

alex smith if the government will allow the public to make financial gain from trapping and eating of crayfish, then your problem is solved. I am a avid hunter, fisherman, and conservationist from America. We, unfortunately, managed to wipe out 25 to 30 million American bison in 100 years. Thank goodness we came to our senses on one of our indigenous animals. Since these crayfish are a ferrel animal in the UK, unleash that power on their population and you will be amazed how humans can decimate a population.
@alexsmith56066 жыл бұрын
trapping them would reduce numbers, but i don't think it is going to solve the problem. these guys are small and breed quick. removing such a small animal is very hard. it is probably impossible to catch them all. plus, there is a fear that people would accidentally catch and eat native crayfish. they can't even get walking catfish out of Florida (and it's a much bigger animal)
@bosniakedisniksic6 жыл бұрын
Alex Smith, you will never be able to fully eradicate them. Eating them down to small numbers is the only hope you really have. As for the native white claw, that's an easy fix. Set laws and regulations that make sure people are able to identify the ONE species of native crayfish and anything that doesn't look like the native must be one of the countless invasives. I'm not even from there and after doing 2 min of research I'm confident in my ability to tell whether or not a crayfish is a native of Britain.

Our (UK) waterways used to have many predatory bird and fish species, also otters and many other river adapted mammals. If we hadn't killed them all with hunting or habitat destruction, they would have collectively acted as an environmental buffer. Then I don't think the crayfish would have stood much of a chance reaching plague proportions.

mike sixx, I think river otters mostly eat fish so the lack of fish in these heavily infested creeks might be why they haven't moved in. Don't forget that the river otter was nearly extinct in the UK and although their numbers are back up to their strongest sized population since the industrial revolution, they're still not nearly as common as they would need to be to make a dent in the invasive crayfish problem.

I m from South Central Louisiana, Cajun Country. Find some Zatarans crab, crawfish n shrimp boil seasoning, liquid for water n powder for in the chest. Boil water n add ur seasoning n put in butter n corn on cob n whole onions n potatoes, red if u can find them, n boil till cooked n take out n put in small ice chest, preferably styrofoam n season lightly with powder seasoning (u can leave off seasoning if u prefer). If u put any of these into a good ice chest it will warp n hold the seasoning taste. Bring to boil again n add more seasoning with butter n squeeze lemons n throw tgem in (generous amount of butter n lemon). When water reaches a hard boil add the crawfish. Put top of pot on n as soon as u see steam time it for 8 minutes. Take crawfish out n put in styrofoam ice chest n season with powder seasoning. Pot on top n shake to distribute seasoning. Leave in ice chest for 30 minutes to complete cooking. Spread out news paper over trash bags on a table. Once the 30 minutes is up, spread them out on table along with potatoes, corn n onions n enjoy. U can also make a dip using a good mayo with pick-a-pepper sauce or with ur choice of hot sauce. U can dip everything in this dip. Hope this helps with the crawfish problem. U can open up a small drive inn resturant n sell them to others. In Louisiana they sell for anywhere from 5 to 15 dollars a pound. Good luck n Bon Appetit. God Bless!!
