The rostrum is short and in individuals over 50 mm (2.0 in) OCL usually does not reach the base of the third antenna segment. In those measuring 20–140 mm (0.79–5.51 in) OCL the rostrum is to the base or midpoint of that segment and, in some under 20 mm (0.79 in), goes to the end of the third segment. [4]
Pontastacus leptodactylus, [2] the Danube crayfish, [3] Galician crayfish, [3] Turkish crayfish [4] or narrow-clawed crayfish, is a relatively large and economically important species of crayfish native to fresh and brackish waters in eastern Europe and western Asia, mainly in the Pontic–Caspian region, among others including the basins of the Black Sea, and the Danube, Dnieper, Don and ...
The rostrum is short reaching at most the middle of the third segment of the antenna, often only to the base of that segment. The cephalon (head) is generally poorly to moderately spined with relatively few spines, of small size or rounded bumps. Sharp spines sometimes found on smaller specimens.

Rostrum (from Latin rostrum, meaning beak) is a term used in anatomy for several kinds of hard, beak-like structures projecting out from the head or mouth of an animal. Despite some visual similarity, many of these are phylogenetically unrelated structures in widely varying species.
The rostrum is a greenish-blue, and the pleon is dark blue or black, with pinkish-grey or cream coloration on the margins (in some individuals the pleon is greenish-grey with pink speckles). The tail fan is cream-colored or pink around the outside margin.
The rostrum narrows anteriorly, appearing slightly pinched in the middle, with ridges typically of a rust-orange color, and marginal spines are present. The claws of this species may get quite large in proportion to body size, they have somewhat prominent tubercles , and there is a relatively significant gap between the fingers of the claws ...
Cherax holthuisi is a species of crayfish from the Bird's Head Peninsula in New Guinea. It grows to a total length of 81–93 mm (3.2–3.7 in) and is typically pink, orange or yellow in wild specimens. It was described in 2006 after animals circulating in the aquarium trade could not be assigned to any known species.
