Integrating research into freshwater biodiversity and the role of
keystone species, this fascinating book presents freshwater
crayfish as representatives of human-exacerbated threats to
biodiversity and conservation. It uses examples from these and
other large decapod invertebrates to explore how communities
function and are controlled, alongside the implications of human
demands and conflicts over limited resources, notably the severe
impacts on biodiversity. The discussion is structured around three
key topics – the present situation of crayfish in world
freshwater ecosystems, the applications of science to conservation
management and knowledge transfer for successful crayfish
management. It outlines the historic exploitation of crayfish,
addressing the problems caused by invasive alien forms and
explaining the importance of correct identification when dealing
with conservation issues. Offering a global perspective on
freshwater systems, the book ultimately highlights how the
conservation of such large and long-lived species will help protect
ecosystem quality in the future.
