Summary: This study explores the effects of steaming and boiling on the texture, sensory evaluation, and volatile flavors of crayfish. The optimal duration for both steaming and boiling was found to be 4 minutes. Steaming and boiling have similar influences on the quality and taste of crayfish, with a slight difference in flavor composition. This research provides guidance for the industrial processing of crayfish.

Summary: This study conducted an experimental research on the effects of non-native crayfish on stream ecosystems and found that even at low densities, non-native crayfish can significantly alter multiple components of stream ecosystems. It emphasizes the need to minimize the spread of non-native crayfish within and between streams.

Summary: Freshwater crayfish immunity is a topic of great interest due to conservation needs, with a focus on oomycete pathogens and the immune response mechanisms involved. This review provides insights into hemocyte subtypes, hematopoiesis factors, and the role of different hemocyte subpopulations in cell-mediated responses, as well as other aspects like hyaline cells and the molecular execution of immune responses.

Summary: Biological invasions have significant impacts on native biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, with invasive crayfish species being particularly noteworthy. Studies have shown an increase in locations with multiple invasive crayfish species in Europe, with the success of the marbled crayfish largely attributed to its rapid growth and early frequent reproduction.

Summary: A highly lethal freshwater crayfish virus, WSSV-Cc, was isolated and its genetic evolution was uncovered. The virus has a relatively small genome compared to previous isolates, with unique genes and recombination events identified. The study provides new insights into the character and evolution of nimaviruses.

Summary: In this study, the activation of p53 and its effects on cells under stress were investigated in anoxic crayfish. The results showed an increase in phosphorylated p53 levels during anoxia, with cytoplasmic accumulation of phosphorylated p53 observed. This suggests that p53 may play a protective role in defending against low-oxygen stress and minimizing damage while promoting recovery.

Summary: Crayfish plague is a devastating infectious disease that has caused the decline of crayfish populations. Some European crayfish populations have shown resistance to the disease, similar to North American crayfish. In the Iberian Peninsula, southern populations exhibit different responses to the pathogen compared to northern and central populations.

Summary: The demographics of young-of-year Pondmussels and Giant Floaters in ponds showed variations in size, sex ratios, and gravidity among ponds due to differences in environmental conditions or demographic stochasticity. Size and fecundity were not related to male density, and acquired immunity did not affect YOY performance in both species. The rapid growth, early maturity, efficient fertilization, and high fecundity of YOY contradict traditional views of mussel life history, but may enable them to colonize disturbed, unstable habitats quickly.

Summary: Transformation of food systems is necessary for feeding the growing global population. The rice-crayfish integrative system (RCIS) allows for the production of multiple types of food on the same land area and has gained popularity in Asian countries. However, there is limited information regarding the distribution of crayfish in paddy fields, which is crucial for effective management. This study conducted a 2-year field experiment and found that crayfish distribution in RCIS is influenced by water depth and field topography, with the highest densities observed in gullies near the short ridge of rectangular farmland.

Summary: We examined the phenology of a non-native population of Gracilaria vermiculophylla in South Carolina and found that tetrasporophytes dominated throughout the year, with higher abundance in warm summer months. Our study suggests that phenology of G. vermiculophylla may be influenced by changes in seawater temperatures.

Summary: Warming-induced global water cycle changes pose a significant challenge to global ecosystems and human society. However, quantifying historical water cycle change is difficult owing to a dearth of direct observations, particularly over the ocean, where 77% and 85% of global precipitation and evaporation occur, respectively. Here, researchers track salinity trends in the warm, salty fraction of the ocean and quantify the observed net poleward transport of freshwater from 1970 to 2014. They find that poleward freshwater transport from warm to cold ocean regions has occurred at a rate not replicated in current climate models.

Summary: This review highlights the underrepresentation of studies on paleotsunamis in freshwater systems, emphasizing the need for more research in this area. While the number of paleotsunami studies has increased in the past decade, research on lacustrine and river paleotsunamis is still rare. Future studies are necessary to better understand the causes, frequencies, and hazard potential of freshwater paleotsunamis.

Summary: Since the mid-20th century, Europe has seen a significant increase in non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) due to their extensive use in fisheries, aquaculture, and pet trade. However, there is a lack of large-scale analysis on their occurrences and trends. In this study, using a freshwater macroinvertebrate database, we evaluated the information on NICS obtained from biomonitoring approaches and identified species-specific trends. We found no significant temporal trend for the abundance of any species at the European scale but identified predictors of abundances.

Summary: The study examines the acoustic signals and their role in intraspecific interactions of the invasive species crayfish Cherax destructor. The results show that both male and female crayfish produce high- and low-frequency sounds, with grouped animals producing fewer low-frequency sounds. In addition, more sounds are recorded when animals are in close proximity. This study provides a foundation for future research on intraspecific acoustic communication and the implementation of low-cost passive acoustic monitoring.

Summary: The contribution of alien peracarid crustaceans to the biocontamination of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in Croatian large rivers was investigated in this study. The results showed that alien peracarid crustaceans have a significant impact on the richness and abundance of macroinvertebrate assemblages, potentially leading to a decline in native species. The highest number of alien species was found in the Danube River, while no alien species were found in the Mura River. The upstream areas of the Mura, Drava, and Sava Rivers in Croatia are still unaffected by invasive peracarids. Check, clean, and dry protocols should be implemented to prevent further spread of alien peracarids.
